.. you might be better off going to the ABRSM syllabus and working through the repertoire there.


I don't think AB publish a book of exam pieces for classical guitar. When I last did an exam I had to buy several different books to try out things and choose the ones I wanted - with loads of spare pieces I don't need. I've since given up on AB for guitar as both Trinity and LCM publish one book per grade with all the pieces and technical exercises. I've bought both board's books for grades 1 to 5 just to give me plenty to do at each level.

But the ABRSM does publish the 'Time Pieces' books, which contain many if not all of the exam pieces. For my grade 5 guitar I just got that book, and chose all three pieces from it.

Unfortunately for those of us in the U.S.A, ABRSM are the only graded exams we have access to. Because I had to buy by pieces for voice book by book I was not aware that one could get exam pieces for a grade all in one book for other instruments. It would be very economical to be able to buy one book and if there is another exam system that allows you to do that I amend my recommendation.
