Dear Sec 1s,

Next week's lesson (Week 7) will be your performance exams. Just some reminders:

You are to play a piece between 2 and a half to 5 minutes long (no more than that). If your piece is too short, you are allowed to play a maximum of two pieces, up to a maximum total time of 5 minutes.

Ensure that you bring a photocopy of whatever you are playing to the examination room, as I will need it for marking purposes. If you are an instrumentalist (e.g. violinist), bring the full score (with the piano part).

If you need a page turner/ music stand/ special instrument (e.g. guzheng), ensure that you make prior arrangements with the appropriate people to help out. The examiner cannot act as a page turner/ furniture arranger/ instrument carrier etc. for you.

Lastly, there will be a practice room for you to use before your exam. Please be considerate to those about to take their exam and do not hog the practice room. If you have finished with your examination, you are to remain in the Vivaldi Room and not be wandering around the school. I will be in the exam room and unable to supervise you in the Vivaldi, so I trust that you will be good all on your own! :)

Lessons proper will resume in Week 8.
