Classical Pianoforte - Piano Diploma
This is intended to ensure that teachers and candidates are fully conversant with Diploma requirements. It contains General Information relating to the conduct of the examinations, and the Objectives and Criteria for assessment.
As all Diploma examinations are regarded as being at tertiary level, it is important that a students performance is commensurate with this expected standard, and demonstrates a satisfactory achievement of the stated criteria in all the required sections for a Pass to be awarded.
Two examiners for Associate and Licentiate Diplomas will make the assessment and their decision will be final. An unsuccessful candidate who wishes to present again during a future series will have at least one different examiner.
A comprehensive, written report signed by all examiners will be sent to the teacher (or student of self-entry), as soon as possible after the conclusion of the examination.
Students will receive one of the following assessments: Honours
Pass
Not Satisfactory
Where an examination consisted of two or more parts (not including prerequisites), the pass mark will be an average of 75% over all section, with no one section having a mark lower than 70%.
