Rockschool music qualifications are tailor-made for the contemporary musician.
Exciting Repertoire
Hand-picked tunes from some of the world’s biggest artists across a diverse range of genres, the Rockschool Bass repertoire provide students with an expansive song choice to use in their exam and for their own enjoyment.
Ability to Specialise
For every Bass Grade, students can plot their stylistic specialism, developing an in-depth understanding of the type of playing they identify with, whether this is pop, rock, metal, blues, country, funk, jazz or reggae.
Rockschool Rhythm Section
Nothing beats jamming with friends or delivering group lessons. This unique release will see at least six shared pieces of repertoire per electric guitar, bass, and drums grade. All three Rockschool Originals and at least a further three Hit Tunes have been arranged to be played as an ensemble.
Video Mentors
In between lessons, the Rockschool mentors are here to help! Our e-books come stacked with innovative new features that will aid your teaching and learning. We’ve included handy tips and advice on techniques, rudiments, scales, arpeggios, and quick study pieces, all of which will be accessible alongside the interactive score player and instant feedback technology, powered by MatchMySound.
Innovative Technology
The Rockschool e-books, utilising Learning Platform technology, are the ultimate practise tool, allowing candidates to master their instrument and prepare for a graded music exam like never before. The interactive sheet music player gives candidates the ability to jam along with, slow down and loop tricky passages of their favourite Rockschool performance pieces, whilst receiving automated instantaneous feedback so they can achieve their goals with confidence.
UCAS Points
For Grades 6, 7 and 8, you can supersize your university application, with up to 30 UCAS points awarded at Grade 8.
