Pupils will enter themselves and can record their examination in the comfort of their own home. Full guidance for this process can be seen below. Please note that each piece must be recorded in a single interrupted take with the title of each piece being stated before playing.  

OPTION 3: £40

On exam day each pupil will be given a 30 min slot in which to record their pieces with us. They will given the opportunity to record each piece twice and then choose their best one for us to submit. We will have very tight restrictions on our timing so we will have to choose recordings from this take.

Students will record each exam piece themselves. We will then take care of all the administration and enter the pupil for their exam and upload their recording. The benefit of this option is that you can take as long as you need to record your exam.
