Music

Assessment

Performing: • An 8-minute recital on your chosen instrument(s)/voice which is recorded and submitted to the exam board for assessment. Composing: • Two compositions which are completed during the course. • Composition one is either a ‘free’ composition which allows you to draw on your particular interests and strengths; or a composition following a set brief, linked to one of the six areas of study. • Composition two assesses your ability to compose following a particular technique such as 4-part harmony or two-part counterpoint. This is completed under exam conditions in April of the assessment year.
