Individual performance teachers are assigned to each student.
The performance examination will be a maximum of 20-30 minutes' duration, and will include technical exercises and at least two short recital pieces.*30% may be based on "technical" material relevant to the instrument/voice such as scales and arpeggios, études and technical studies, orchestral excerpts, vocalise exercises, works that have a strongly technical component rather than an artistic/interpretive one.**40% will be based on artistic performance of solo (or small ensemble) repertoire, and will take into account performance demeanour and presentation. * 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.
