About LCME Timpani Exams
Exam levels
Exam formats
Alongside traditional graded exams, we also provide alternatives to our standard examination format designed to offer something different to our diverse range of candidates:
- Graded exam – performance of three pieces, technical work, sight reading, a discussion and aural tests.
- Recital Grade – an exam entirely or predominantly performance-based
- Leisure Play – a performance of four pieces, with an optional own-choice piece
New Repertoire List 2022
Changes and Updates
The new LCME Percussion Repertoire List 2022 is now available, with a revised selection of pieces for all the percussion disciplines.
Following the success of the 2022 drum kit syllabus, snare drum, timpani, and tuned percussion have now been updated to provide the most versatile performance options.
Percussion exams can be taken on each instrument individually or combined to create a custom Percussion exam. Combining drum kit, snare drum, timpani, and tuned percussion remains an effective method for developing an all-around percussionist.
Validity
The previous LCME Percussion Repertoire List (2017-2021) will remain valid until the end of the Winter 2023 exam session.
