RCM Double Bass Grade 6

This is where the 2004 bass syllabus introduces lettered repertoire lists: candidates play THREE selections by different composers, one each from List A (Baroque repertoire), List B (Classical repertoire), and List C. So the lettered-list framework appears at Grade 6 for bass, versus Grade 5 (A/B/C) and Grade 1 (A/B) in the 2013 viola/cello editions - a clear structural divergence. Studies, technical tests, ear tests, and sight reading continue. Difficulty anchor: intermediate bass repertoire (Double Bass Solo vol. 1 arrangements of Bach/Beethoven/Haydn). Confidence high for STRUCTURE (read directly from the 2004 PDF). This is based on the RCM Double Bass Syllabus, 2004 Edition (filename doublebasssyll_2004_online on the official RCM CDN; verified directly from the PDF; the PDF preface explicitly states 'The 2004 edition of the Double Bass Syllabus ... replaces all previous double bass syllabi'). THIS IS THE OLDER-EDITION INSTRUMENT FLAGGED IN THE CAVEAT: its level naming and list structure DIFFER from the 2021 violin and 2013 viola/cello. Its referenced theory syllabus is the Theory Syllabus 2002 edition, and theory subject names (e.g. 'Preliminary Rudiments') differ from the newer editions. As of this research I could NOT confirm a newer double bass edition exists on the official RCM CDN.; the exact repertoire lists and mark breakdown change by edition, so confirm the current requirements on the official RCM syllabus.
