Assessment

Assessment Due Date Percentage  Description
Performance Examination 70% End-of-year performance examination in week commencing Mon 19 Oct.
Participation 30% 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 Performance Class (if applicable).


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/interpretive one.  40% will be based on the artistic performance of solo (or small ensemble) repertoire, and will take into account performance demeanour and presentation.

Note:  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 Class (if applicable).
