RSL Rockschool

As the glue that holds the band together, Rockschool understands that no band can groove without a bass player who is fully in control of melody and rhythm. As you progress through your grades, you will expand your technical proficiency, develop a solid comprehension of music theory, and ultimately understand the bass’ unique role in the world of popular music.

LCM/RGT

There are eight LCME Bass Guitar grades, plus two introductory levels and three teaching diplomas.

The standard graded exams consist of a performance, scales and arpeggios, bass patterns, musicianship and aural assessment (there is also specialism for Grades 6 to 8).

We also provide alternatives to our standard examination format designed to offer something different for our diverse range of candidates:

• Recital Grade – an entirely performance-based live exam

• Filmed Performance Award – a performance-based assessment by video submission

• Recorded Performance Award – a performance-based assessment by audio submission
