From September 2023 – specifications for Trinity’s face-to-face and digital Drama grades and diplomas are changing

We are pleased to announce some exciting improvements that we’re making to our Drama exams later this year: Trinity's Drama specifications have been refreshed and updated, and are now available to download.

The new syllabus specifications are for exams from September 2023. From this time onwards the 2020 face-to-face and digital grade and diploma specifications will no longer be valid, and all teachers and candidates must use the updated syllabus specifications in exams.

Combine acting, song and movement through performance

Musical Theatre exams provide learners with the opportunity to integrate acting, singing and movement.

Candidates demonstrate their skills integrating acting, singing and choreographed movement to become the all-round performer through the performance of pieces from published works of musical theatre. Whether as solo, in pairs, or in groups, candidates can bring character and narrative to life with song and movement as an actor or in production.

  • Develop the ability to integrate acting, singing and dance/movement
  • Demonstrate knowledge and skills through practical performance and ability to reflect on your learning
  • Explore your choice of material from the well-established canon to contemporary musical theatre
  • Available from Initial to Grade 8 for solo, pair and group exams
“The format of the exams reflect what we see when we go to a Musical Theatre show, with candidates combining acting, song and movement to tell a story.”

Iain Reekie, Trinity Examiner
