Our mellow mood playlist for Autumn turns to an instrument we were pioneers in providing examinations for, the electronic organ. Using the full range of sounds and expressions, Elizabethan Serenade is an old favourite still worth taking a few minutes to enjoy.

We turn to the Mandolin for our Autumn playlist. We pay a visit to the Licentiate syllabus with a Passacaglia by Biber perfectly suited to the changing weather.

A little Brahms from Grade 7 piano performed by one of the most iconoclastic pianists of the twentieth century, Glenn Gould. The Intermezzo is full of wistful seasonal melody and harmony. Take a moment to slip into the weekend.

Our autumn playlist continues with a true war horse of the cello repertoire, Bachs Arioso. Set for Grade 6 it's ideal for the last glimpses of sun on a late autumn afternoon.
