ABRSM Euphonium books for Practical and Performance Grades

Start with two checks: your grade and whether you are taking a Practical Grade or Performance Grade. For most customers, the quickest route is to open Syllabus Finder, confirm your level, then shop the Euphonium collection.

For Euphonium, your main buying choice is usually the right repertoire source for your level, then the matching shared bass-clef technical books if you are taking the Practical route.

For Grades 1–5, most customers start with a grade-appropriate repertoire book such as Shining Brass, Book 1 or Brass Mix, Book 1, then add Scales and Arpeggios for Baritone (bass clef), Euphonium (bass clef), E flat Tuba (bass clef), ABRSM Grades 1–5, from 2023, Sight-Reading for Baritone (bass clef), Euphonium (bass clef), E flat Tuba (bass clef), ABRSM Grades 1–5, from 2023 and the correct Specimen Aural Tests book for the grade band.

For Grades 6–8, start with the repertoire source named for your grade in Syllabus Finder, then add Scales and Arpeggios for Baritone (bass clef), Euphonium (bass clef), E flat Tuba (bass clef), ABRSM Grades 6–8, from 2023 and Sight-Reading for Baritone (bass clef), Euphonium (bass clef), E flat Tuba (bass clef), ABRSM Grades 6–8, from 2023 if you are taking the Practical route.

For Performance Grades, your main purchase is the repertoire source plus any own-choice score you need.

Shining Brass is a strong starting point if you want a brass-focused repertoire book with matching accompaniment books. Brass Mix is useful when you want extra graded repertoire in a mixed-anthology format.

Many customers buy the book named in Syllabus Finder first, then add the other as extra study and performance material.

For Practical Grades, yes. Your repertoire book covers the pieces, but most candidates also buy the matching Scales and Arpeggios and Sight-Reading books so they can prepare the full assessment.

For Performance Grades, no. You normally focus on repertoire plus any own-choice music you need.

Many of them are effectively shared. Euphonium and Baritone use the same repertoire lists in ABRSM, and the main bass-clef technical books on the shop are published as shared titles for Baritone (bass clef), Euphonium (bass clef) and E flat Tuba (bass clef).

The key point is to choose the right clef and any matching accompaniment edition your teacher wants you to use.

That depends on what you want to strengthen. Customers often add the matching Shining Brass piano accompaniment books, extra anthology material such as Brass Mix, or Music Medals Brass options books if they want more ensemble-focused repertoire alongside exam preparation.
