The Exam
It has three components.
Component 1: Teaching
Candidates are required to teach a 20-minute lesson to a pupil at the examination, or with approval to submit a video recording of a lesson.
For some instruments the syllabus states: A ‘live’ teaching session is preferred. Any candidate choosing the recording option must seek approval from the Chief Examiner in Music in writing in advance of the entry, explaining the necessities that govern their choice.
Also, the pupil may be of any age, but candidates must have been teaching the pupil for a period of at least six months.
Component 2: Presentation & demonstration and performance
