Female Vocals Grade 4

Welcome to the Rockschool Female Vocals Grade 4 pack. This book and accompanying audio contain everything you need

to sing at this grade.

Vocals Exams

At each grade you have the option of taking one of two different types of examination:

a Grade Exam is a mixture of music performances, technical work and tests. You prepare three pieces

(two of which may be Free Choice Pieces) and the contents of the Technical Exercise section. This accounts for 75%

of the exam marks. The other 25% consists of: either a Sight Reading or an Improvisation & Interpretation test (10%),

two Ear Tests (10%), and finally you will be asked five General Musicianship Questions (5%). The pass mark is 60%.

in a Performance Certificate you sing five pieces. Up to three of these can be Free Choice Pieces. Each song is marked out of 20 and the pass mark is 60%.

Book Contents

The book is divided into a number of sections. These are:

in this book you will find six well-known pieces of Grade 4 standard. Each song is preceded by a Fact File

detailing information about the original recording, the artist who sang on it and some recommended listening if you

wish to research the artist further. every exam piece is printed with a piano part and guitar chords. Both are a representation

of the overall band arrangement. These have been included to assist you with your practice should you wish to use a

piano and/or guitar for accompaniment. In your exam you must perform to the backing tracks provided.

in addition to the piano/vocal/guitar arrangement there is also a separate vocal-only score to allow you to

view the vocal part on a single sheet of paper. there are a range of technical exercises in this grade. Some are notated in full, and some give a range of starting notes. in Vocals Grade 4 there are three supporting tests - either a

Sight Reading or an Improvisation & Interpretation test and two Ear Tests - and a set of General Musicianship Questions

(GMQs) asked at the end of each exam. Examples of the types of tests likely to appear in the exam are printed in this book.

finally, you will find information on exam procedures, including online examination entry, marking schemes, information on Free Choice Pieces and improvisation requirements for each grade. Audio

Each song in Vocals Grade 4 has an audio track which has been provided for you. This is a backing track with the vocal

taken off so you can sing along with the band. The backing tracks should be used in examinations. There are also audio

examples of the supporting tests printed in the book. The audio files are supplied in MP3 format.

All candidates should read the accompanying syllabus guide when using this grade book. This can be downloaded from the

RSL website: www.rslawards.com

This regret-tinged tear-jerker from Katie Melua's

debut album, Call Off The Search, helped her become one of the most successful artists of the 2000s.

Georgian-born Ketevan 'Katie' Melua moved

to Northern Ireland aged eight, before settling in England aged 14 and enrolling in the BRIT School in

London. During a talent showcase event, she came

to the attention of producer-composer Mike Batt (writer of two British pop culture classics in 'Bright

Eyes' from Watership Down and the theme tune

from The Wombles). Batt was looking for someone to perform his material in the style of late singer

Eva Cassidy, who could handle both jazz and blues

songs. The pair bonded over their music taste, and built up a collection of songs (many of them Batt's own compositions) that would become 19-year-old Melua's debut album, Call Off The Search. A winning blend of radio-friendly pop, jazz and blues, it became

2004's biggest-selling album in the UK. Two more

albums with Batt followed, until 2010's The House saw electronic producer William Orbit take the helm and Melua spread her wings slightly, into artier pop territory, while still playing to her strengths. Her recent releases, 2012's Secret Symphony and 2013's

Ketevan, feature orchestral arrangements by Batt.

'The Closest Thing To Crazy' was written by Mike

Batt as part of the war musical Men Who March

Away. It appeared on one of his earlier albums and Melua read the lyrics off the sleeve as the pair were auditioning one of Batt's other songs. "It blew me away," Melua said. "It was an instant classic." The song became a huge hit, but there was a lot riding on its success - Mike Batt had remortgaged his house to put the record out on his own indie label, Dramatico. Speculatively, he gave a recording of it to a producer on the Terry Wogan Show on Radio 2. Wogan played it on air and the touchpaper was lit. "Someone said when it came on the radio, they had to stop the car,"

Melua recalled. "Someone else said they started

crying. Then our website was inundated with fans asking where they could buy the song. We hadn't even planned to put out a single. Suddenly, that changed." For an introduction to all things Melua, listen to

Live At The O2 Arena (2009).
