Popular Music Vocals

About LCME Popular Music Vocals exams

There are eight LCM Popular Music Vocals grades, four performance diplomas and three teaching diplomas.

The standard graded exams consist of a performance of two to four songs (grade dependent), technical work, 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 – an entirely performance-based exam
  • Performance Award – a performance-based assessment by video submission
  • Concert – an entirely performance-based diploma exam
