MUSIC PERFORMANCE  :  SYLLABUS
Introduction
These examinations are designed for candidates who wish to concentrate on the art of performing rather than the more academic side of music.
Levels 1-5 require the performance of three different, contrasting brackets of performance items to take up the specified time.
Levels 6 and 7 require the performance of four different and contrasting brackets of items to take up the specified time.
Level 8 requires an appropriate 45 minute program of varied and contrasting music performance items, divided into four brackets.
Diploma in Music Performance requires appropriately varied and contrasting performance items to comprise a thoughtfully conceived program of music, divided into four brackets, to reflect a range of styles, periods and cultures. Candidates may wish to invite an audience to this performance, and whilst this is optional it is strongly recommended in order to give the Music Performance a genuine sense of occasion, purpose and achievement. A suitable venue must be provided and a printed program available for audience members.

NB    In each level, the candidate will be required to submit a suitably presented written program containing brief notes relating to the items selected for performance, and indicating research appropriate to age and stage of development.
Candidates in each level will also be required to verbally introduce the performance to be presented and to announce each individual item to the examiner.
Extra pieces may be included in each bracket if desired/necessary to make up the allotted examination time in all levels up to Level 7.
Memorization of performance items is optional.
