PIANO ADULT BEGINNER ASSESSMENT SCOPE

INTRODUCTION

This assessment scope will help prepare the student prepare for their final annual assessment during the lessons and for home rehearsals.

The Assessment will be divided into 3 SECTIONS: Theory, Technical and Practical Performance

MARKING SCOPE

Please study the mark allocations for your assessment. Your goal will be to achieve a 75% overall pass rate that will reveal your progress throughout this year.

The assessment will count a TOTAL OF 200 marks:

·       Section 1: Theory – 20 marks – the student must know all of the information listed as I have marked for you to study from the list.

·       Section 2: Technical – 50 marks - the student must know all of the information listed as I have marked for you to study from the list.

·       Section 3: Practical – 120 marks  - I will mark 4 song choices from your most recent stage of playing. See list description

·       Lesson attendance – 10 marks

OUTCOMES

If you have started later in this year, the assessment will reveal whether you will finish the book after the assessment or whether you will go on to a different course if you have finished your book.

You will receive a printed copy of your results which will determine the plan for your next course. The assessment will grant the student an equivalent of a non-accredited international exam grade but will be a supplement to advance to a Grade 1 or 2 International Graded course.

PREPARING FOR THE EXAM AT HOME:

Please plan your rehearsals each day: theory, technical and practical disciplines. Minimal daily times: Kids 7 - 10: from 15min.; Tweens & Teens 10-15: from 20 min.; Teens & Adults from 30 min.

I will indicate on this sheet what work you must prepare for your assessment according to what page number you have reached before your assessment date.

Each student will be supplied a more detailed scope in terms of marking scope for each section 6 to 4 weeks before the assessment date.
