GENERAL INFORMATION: GUITAR, BASS AND MANDOLIN

Technical Work1. Technical work should be played evenly and without undue accentuation. Students are

expected to observe tempo indications where given.

Page Turning2. Examiners are not to be asked to turn pages. It is the responsibility of teachers and

candidates to ensure continuity of performance without disruption for page turns.

Lists and Editions3. Except for the Free Choice selection, all pieces presented must be drawn from the lists set

for the respective grade.

4. Candidates must use the editions specified in the syllabi.

Free Choice Lists5. ANZCA does not arbitrate on Free Choice selections. It is the responsibility of the

teacher to choose a suitable solo of the correct standard for the grade.

The Free Choice option may be an original composition, but the item presented mustreflect the technical standard of the grade, and be not more than three minutes in length.Guitar and Bass manuscript templates may be downloaded free of charge fromwww.anzca.com.au . (Note: Students wishing to explore composition will find theANZCA Theory syllabus a valuable tool in understanding melody writing and harmony.)

Accompaniment and Backing Tracks6. From Grade Two, accompaniments may be used, either in the form of a musician on a

second instrument or a recorded backing. It is the candidate’s responsibility to providesuitable playback equipment, and tracks must be cued or instantly accessible to avoiddelays in the examination room.

Diploma Examinations7. Completed requisites must be included on the entry form.

8. Assessment: Honours, Pass or Not Satisfactory.

9. Further information on all diploma examinations is given in the Diploma ExaminationHandbook, available from the ANZCA office.

Equipment10. Candidates must supply their own instruments, and any additional equipment (such as

amplifiers, effects units, music stands, etc.) if required by the examination venue. Wherepossible, teachers are advised to check with the venue regarding such equipment;otherwise, students should take their own.

Tuning11. Instruments should be tuned immediately before the examination. It is not the role of the

examiner to tune the candidate’s instrument, nor is there time to tune in the examinationroom (except for fine tuning to the piano where required). (Continued)

GUITAR / BASS20

Failure to observe this procedure could result, due to time constraints, in examiners beingunable to hear all of the prepared work, with marks deducted accordingly.

Plectrum (Modern Guitar only)12. Modern stream candidates must use a plectrum for list pieces, with the following

exceptions: List D from Grades Four to Seven, Lists A and D for Grade Eight and above,and specified List B and C pieces. If fingerstyle is used for these lists, the picking methodmust be stylistically suited to a good performance of the chosen piece.

Age / Grade Recommendations13. ANZCA regards as most important that children are not entered for examination levels

for which they are not physically or musically ready, and encourages teachers of modernguitar especially to consider the following minimum-age guidelines:• Preliminary: 8-10 years.• Grade One: 9-11 years.• Grade Two: 10-12 years.• Grade Three: 11-14 years.• Grade Four: 13-16 years.

While there will of course be exceptions to these recommended ages, the experience ofANZCA examiners suggests that children under high school age are unlikely to be capableof achieving a good result above Grade Three in guitar, and that this is especially due tophysical development. The interests of the child are best served achieving a good resultin a lower level, rather than a poor result in a grade which is overly ambitious for thestudent.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PLEASE READ

2007-08 MODERN BASS SYLLABUSby

CHRISTOPHER QUINLAN, F.Dip.A.

Guidelines for the use of Bass TablatureNo Bass Tablature is allowed for Lists A and B at any grade.Bass Tablature is only allowed for Lists C and D.

Why is tablature not allowed in Lists A and B?Tablature for stringed instruments (such as guitar and bass) was originally intended as anaid for positioning fingers on the fretboard, and indeed is used the ANZCA Modern BassTechnical Work book for this purpose.

However, in recent times, tablature has become overused to the point where many studentsonly play from “tabs”, and have little understanding of standard musical notation.

To circumvent what many call the new “musical illiteracy”, this syllabus aims for a balancebetween reading standard notation and tablature. Accordingly, instructional texts and songbooks have been selected (and deleted) according to this criteria.

Candidates must read standard musical notation in Lists A and B.Pieces with tablature can be chosen for Lists C and D.

Ethical Guidelines for the use of PhotocopiesPhotocopies are only allowed to aid in page turns of music more than two pages in lengthin a book owned by the candidate. The book must be brought into the examination room.

It is the responsibility of the teacher and student to use photocopies ethically and legally.

Every effort has been made to include books in the syllabus which are: 1) freely available;2) of good quality; and 3) reasonably priced.

Criteria for Syllabus Song SelectionBooks/solos used in the syllabus have been selected according to the following criteria:

1) Wherever possible, the book contains material which can be used for all Listsin a particular grade, or in at least one List over several grades.

2) The book contains musical notation, not just tablature.3) Each piece utilises technique and style expected for the particular grade.4) Each piece carries with it a sense of “history”, i.e. a classic song or style.5) Each piece selected coincides in some way with songs in the Modern Guitar and

Drumset syllabi, in order for the candidate to build a repertoire which can bepractically used in school rock band programs, ensembles, and beyond intoprofessional playing.

MODERN BASS70

What does “Main sections, no repeats, no backing” mean?In order to fit all parts of an examination into the allotted time, “examination arrangements”of songs are required from Grade One to Five. Each arrangement should be no more thantwo minutes in length, and contain only the main sections, with no stops and starts.

Can candidates use backing recordings?Only if the recording is no more than two minutes in length.

Please note: Many fine publications that are listed in the syllabus have backing CDs whichare “sound alikes to the original - minus bass” etc. These pieces repeat sections and riffs,and if heard in their entirety would exceed the time limits of the examination, causing manyproblems for other candidates, the examiner and the studio holding the examinations.

What books to I need to buy to sit an examination?This syllabus has strived to abide by the rule “buy a book, sit an exam”. The purchase ofone good quality, reasonably priced text with as many pieces as possible aids in giving astudent focus in their studies and in the prevention of illegal photocopying.

It is possible to buy one book and use the material in that book for a number of grades.

Books recommended for this purpose are:QUINLAN, C. ANZCA Modern Bass Technical Work (ANZCA)FRIEDLAND, E. Hal Leonard Electric Bass Method Complete (Hal Leonard HL00695074)Easy Pop Bass Lines (Hal Leonard HL00695809)More Easy Pop Bass Lines (Hal Leonard HL00695818)Even More Easy Pop Bass Lines (Hal Leonard HL00695820)The Real Book - Bass Clef Edition (Hal Leonard HL00240226)

Note: The Real Book has long been considered an “industry standard” for all workingmusicians and as such, is used throughout the mid- to upper-levels of this syllabus.

THE BEATLES. Any complete songbook, for the Category 3 component of List C (GradesTwo and Three) or List D (Grade Four and above).

How can I best prepare a student for an examination?Once a student has become comfortable with all aspects of the examination during lessons,set aside lesson time according to the examination being prepared*, and with the aid of astopwatch, alarm clock or egg timer, give a “practice exam” according to the requirementsset out in the syllabus, e.g. for a Grade One student, allow:

Technical Work, List A, List B and List C: around 2 minutes each;General Knowledge, Sight Reading and Aural Tests: around 1 minute 20 seconds each.Total Time: 12 minutes.

Running through the sections, adhering to the time limit for each, gives a sense of theexamination “flow”, and helps to prevent the student feeling “rushed” in the exam room.

MANDOLIN SYLLABUS

ANZCA is proud to announce the inclusion of Mandolin to the 2007-08 syllabi forplucked strings. This graded system has been designed by Mr Robert Schulz (LGSM,B.Mus.Ed.), a well-known mandolin teacher, composer and conductor with many yearsexperience in the field. The first release of this syllabus includes Preliminary to GradeSix; Grade Seven to Diploma will follow in 2008.

The material used in the Lists is an appealing combination of Baroque and 20th/21st

century repertoire, with a smaller amount of 19th century material included. TechnicalWork requirements are given at the start of each grade, and are notated in the ANZCAMandolin Technical Work book.

As many of the editions specified in the grade Lists are from European publishers, muchof this material will need to be ordered from overseas. This reflects the historicsituation of the mandolin being well established in Italy, Germany and Holland formany years before becoming popular outside of Europe. The publishers included canbe found online, and material not readily available in local music stores can easily beordered via the internet. A bibliography of the editions used in this syllabus is includedon page 101.

From Grade Five, the List D requirement is an orchestral excerpt. This is in recognitionof the mandolin’s rich history as a solo instrument in both the concerto and concertogrosso forms. It is not intended that students purchase whole orchestral scores to findone portion of a solo part. Where this material is not available through either a teacheror tertiary music library, the sourcing of it may be assisted by FAME (Federation ofAustralasian Mandolin Ensembles), an umbrella organisation that oversees thedevelopment and promotion of mandolin and mandolin-based ensemble playing in theAustralasian region.

FAME has a local representative in each Australian state, and also for the North andSouth Islands of New Zealand. These people can be emailed via the FAME website,http://home.vicnet.net.au/~fameweb .
