Classical Singing
About LCME Classical Singing Exams
There are eight LCM Classical Singing grades, four performance diplomas and three teaching diplomas.
The standard graded exams consist of a performance of three pieces, technical work, sight reading, a discussion and aural tests.
We also provide alternatives to our standard examination format designed to offer something different to our diverse range of candidates:
- Recital – an exam entirely or predominantly performance-based
- Leisure Play – a performance of four pieces, with an optional own-choice piece
- Performance Award – a performance-based assessment by video submission
- Concert – an entirely performance-based diploma exam

Please note that the 2011– 2020 Classical Singing Grades Repertoire List has been extended until further notice.
