TRINITY Rock & Pop—Exam Syllabus

As Music Education grows, the need to diversify the syllabus becomes apparent. These days, people are viewing music education as a lifestyle and not just a hobby. They are realising that not only can it provide a career opportunity but also a lifetime emotional support. But, not everybody is looking to expand themselves in the mostly classically oriented music education.
