Improvisation & Interpretation

You will be asked to play an improvised line to a backing track of four bars in the keys of either C major or A minor. You
may choose to play either rhythmic chords or a melodic lead line – the downloadable audio includes a version for each
choice. You have 30 seconds to prepare and then you will be allowed to practise during the first playing of the backing track
before playing it to the examiner on the second playing of the backing track. This test is continuous with a one bar count-in
at the beginning and after the practice session. The tempo is q = 70–80.
q = 80 Rock
