Music

Assessment

• Performance (35%) You will be expected to play 10-12 minutes worth of music for your final performance in the spring of year 13. The level of difficulty expected is the equivalent of grade 6. • Composition (25%) You will submit a portfolio of two works at the end of year 13. The first is a style composition (written in a specific Classical or Romantic style) and the second is a free composition, in which you can follow your own interests. • Exam (40%) You will complete listening exercises, analysis and write short essays to demonstrate your knowledge of three main areas of study outlined above. Note: if you feel that you are a stronger composer, you choose to change the weighting so that composition is 35% and performance 25%, which slightly changes the assessment.
