The fiddle syllabus 2014-December 2023 from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland offers a great choice of tunes for your repertoire and will enable you to create a programme for the RCS Traditional Music Exams or SQA exams, ceilidhs, mods and concerts.

The pieces were selected by Alistair McCulloch and Christine Martin and are from many well known players, teachers and composers of Scottish fiddle music.

The syllabus requirements are included in the website samples.
