Why Trinity Music Performance Diplomas?

Who are they for?

Trinity Diplomas are your first step into professional musicianship, taking candidates on their next steps beyond graded examinations. Available for a huge range of instruments, they help take candidates on a structured pathway — from ATCL at Level 4, through to LTCL at Level 6 and FTCL at Level 7 — into a whole range of music careers. These include professional performance, teaching and into further study in the creative arts. Diplomas also give you professional recognition with letters after your name, making them a widely-recognised qualification.

There are no prerequisites for our ATCL or LTCL Diplomas, meaning you can prepare for them whether you have taken a Trinity Grade 8 examination or not.

What is a Performance Diploma?

It is a professional performance that takes place in front of one of our expert examining panel. We’ve added more than 1200 new pieces to our instrument repertoire lists available online.
