VOICE
•Half-year assessment [30%] (June) of approximately 20 minutes duration consisting of one technical exercise, one study piece and two songs in English.
•End-of-year assessment [70%] of 20-30 minutes duration (to be decided or at the discretion of the teacher), consisting of one technical exercise, one study piece and three songs (at least one in Italian).
PERCUSSION
Students will present two assessments: mid-year and at the year's end.
•Mid-year assessments will be comprised principally of orchestral excerpts and etudes on timpani, orchestral keyboards, snare drum and ancillary percussion.
•End-of-year assessments will be comprised of recital material that includes both solo and chamber repertoire on timpani and percussion. (This could include multi-percussion and marimba/vibes pieces.)
Note: Both timpani and percussion must be included in all examinations but there is no specific weighting given to one or the other. The mark given will be based on the overall impression of the whole programme of works.
