multi-tracking/use of computers.

pupils have the opportunity to perform on their
instrument as a solo and in a group.

offering sequencing there must be THREE
simultaneously sounding voices/timbres

- There
are 3 difficulty levels; Easier (grade 1)-
Standard (Grade 2/3)- More difficult (Grade

- ASSESSMENT:
Solo performances are marked using a grid to
arrive at a mark out of 25. A Difficulty Level
is then selected and the 1st mark is then
'scaled'. A similar method is used for
Performing during the course, but the two marks
are added and divided by two to give a mark out
of 25. There are then 2 totals which, when
added, give a mark out of 50
