Important Things
to Know:
- Please be in attendance
10mins before your exam is scheduled to start.
- Students must know the
names of the songs they are performing for the exam.
- You must bring all
music for songs, even if you are playing from memory as the
examiner needs to see the music.
- If you are playing your
songs with a CD backing, you must bring those CDs with you. Also mark on
your songs the track numbers as that will make it easier on the day.
- Most students have a choice
of ear tests (aural) or sight reading. It is important that students know
exactly what test they are suppose to do. If you are not sure you must
check with your teacher. Please note students sitting Piano Performance
exams are not required to do either.
- The examiners are very
nice people and if you are not sure what they are asking you to do, just
say “I don’t understand the question”, they won’t bite. Sometimes
if they ask the question in a different way, you will understand.
- Students will be playing
on a Grand Piano. Make sure that they know this before their exam and
explain that it will be exciting and fun to play such a nice piano. Also
make sure students know that every piano feels different and unique but
this will not affect their exam. They will only notice at the start and
once they start playing they will quickly forget about it.
- If you child has any
special needs or learning difficulties please make sure the office knows
and we will be able to help. The AGMED is very flexible in these situations.
- Once your exam is
finished you are free to go.
- Within a few weeks, you
will receive a report which tells you what mark you received and all the
comments made by the examiner. A few weeks after the report you will
receive your certificate.
