Individual Performance Teachers are assigned to each student.
The performance examination will be of approximately 15-25 minutes' duration, including technical exercises and at least two short recital pieces.* 30% will be based on "technical" material relevant to the instrument/voice such as scales and arpeggios, etudes and technical studies, orchestral excerpts, vocalise exercises, works that have a strongly technical component rather than an artistic/interpretative one.** 40% will be based on the artistic performance of solo (or small ensemble) repertoire, and will take into account performance demeanour and presentation.The teacher's grade will consider such things as: an assessment of punctuality and reliability in attending lessons, consistency of practice and learning through the year, technical mastery gained through the year, breadth of engagement with the repertoire, participation in their Performance Workshop (Wed 5.00-6.30), and any Performance Class specific to their instrument (if in addition). * NB: Music performance courses are not eligible for aegrotat consideration** NB: In the case of some instruments (eg, brass) it may be deemed appropriate to examine this part of the assessment separately.
