The Scottish Brass Band Association has announced its new status as a Trinity College London Exam Centre offering practical brass music grade exams.
January 2025
Starting in January 2025 a piano accompanist will be available for the exams taking place at Bellshill Salvation Army Hall, Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, and also a rehearsal prior to the exam day, although candidates may also choose to bring their own accompanist.
Eventually SBBA plans to provide additional Trinity Exam opportunities at other locations and times in the future.
