Mastering the elements described under Contents.

Related to the main subject course and band lessons.

The technical exam focuses on the students' technical/musical skills, with the emphasis on elements important to the main subject study. The description of the relevant main subject year 3 module provides a detailed outline of the technical exam contents.

Audition

Depends on the main subject; see the main subject module description.

Students independently organize all aspects relevant to performing the audition.

Audition for a panel of two teachers (two of whom are teachers of the student's main subject) and a chair, who may also be a teacher of the student's main subject.

See the detailed criteria listed in the module description of the relevant main subject year 3.

The student has completed this module if being awarded a minimum grade of 5.5.

Examiners use an outline of relevant criteria to assess students, with the average grade being used as the final grade.
The examiners hand in their assessment forms 'face-down' to the chair, who then reviews whether the assessments are sufficiently similar, i.e., whether the graded evaluations diverge no more than two points. If there are no problems in this area, the chair subsequently fills out the complete chair form, which contains, in the verbal part, a summary of the reasoned evaluations provided by the several examiners. The average grade of the examiners' evaluations is used as the final grade.
In case the examiners' assessments diverge more than allowed, the chair initiates a panel discussion, and firstly asks the relevant examiners (whose grades diverge more than two points) to provide a further explanation. Subsequently the other examiners are allowed to participate in the discussion, and the chair eventually asks them to re-vote in consideration of the issues raised during the discussion. If the grades now fall within the permissible two-point range of divergence, the chair calculates the average grade of the re-vote and copies it to the chair form, under the heading of 're-vote', and this new average will serve as the final grade.
If the grades are still too dissimilar, the chair also uses the average of the re-vote as final grade, adding a note on the chair form indicating why (from their perspective) the examiners were unable to find common ground.
