I find that the only example tracks for the Improv (grades 1 – 3) and Quick Study Pieces (grades 6 – 8) are the one that appears in the book. These are all compliant with the vocal syllabus, but may be compatible with other instruments.

Grade 1 – 3 Vocals: Starts with the root note, then a bar count in, then a four bar progression. Plays a total of three times, first two are for practice, last one is the ‘real’ take.
Grade 3 – Vocals: 80bpm, Key of E minor, Pop Ballad
Grade 3 – Vocals: 82bpm, Key of E minor, Rock
Grade 3 – Vocals: 90bpm, Key of G, Pop
Grade 6 – 8 Vocals: Starts with full track, including notated vocal parts. Then pause for approx 3 mins – I did not build the pause into the track – and continues two more times without notated vocal lines. The third time overall is the ‘real’ take.
Both of these are for the Pop and Musical Theatre style.
Grade 6 – Vocals: 72bpm, Key of D, Pop Ballad – A in score
Grade 6 – Vocals: 100bpm, Key of F, Pop – B in score
