My son's working towards grade 7, and was learning Turkish March but we can't get confirmation from ABRSM that this is a grade 7 piece. Does anyone have evidence of it ever being accepted as grade 7 standard? Long shot, I know!

All current pieces are listed in the syllabus on the Abrsm website.

You haven’t stated what instrument, but if the current syllabus only started this year, they will accept the previous syllabus up until the spring exam session this year.

Sorry! Piano
I think it lists the main pieces, but can choose something else not on the list. My son learned Turkish March for fun last year, so thought it'd be a good one to add as a last minute fourth piece for the video exam rather than face-to-face exam. He can include it but they might fail him if they deem it to be a lower standard than g7, and unfortunately they won't let him know in advance if it will be acceptable! He might have to just choose another from their list to learn fast!

The syllabus online here lists all the pieces for the current syllabus https://gb.abrsm.org/media/66591/piano-2023-2024-g...

In the book you can buy it only has 9, but as you can see on the syllabus the actual list is longer.

Last years syllabus that can actually be used until the end of this year is here https://gb.abrsm.org/media/65202/piano-g7-2021-202...

All pieces played must be from the same syllabus.

I’ve had a quick scroll through both and can’t see Turkish march, so he definitely would not be able to play that.

Just reread this- he will only be allowed to play three pieces.
