The requirements are, in amost every respect, the same as in the 2000 syabus, but presented in a new format and with additiona information and guidance as we as sma changes and additions to the repertoire ists. The new information incudes detaied guidance notes to hep candidates prepare for each section of their Music Performance Dipoma, as we as exampes of the sorts of question which might be asked in the Viva Voce and a description of possibe responses. A summary of the skis, knowedge and understanding expected for each eve is aso incuded, together with new attainment descriptions giving a genera indication of the eves of attainment ikey to be shown by candidates. At DipABRSM and LRSM eves, substitutions are no onger accepted for Programme Notes. However, appropriate professiona experience is now accepted at a three eves as a substitution for the standard ABRSM prerequisite. The timings of the Recita have been sighty revised, as have the engths of the Programme Notes and the Written Submission.

5 3 INTRODUCTION The Associated Board s Dipomas provide an authoritative assessment framework for a wide range of musicians performers, directors and teachers. Whether you are intending to pursue a career in music, are currenty working as a professiona and wish to broaden your quaifications, or are purey after the satisfaction of achieving a persona goa, you wi find that one of our Dipomas is right for you. There are three Dipoma subject-ines Music Performance, Music Direction, and Instrumenta/ Voca Teaching. Each subject-ine has three eves of award: DipABRSM LRSM FRSM Dipoma of The Associated Board of the Roya Schoos of Music Licentiate of the Roya Schoos of Music Feowship of the Roya Schoos of Music The requirements within each subject-ine at each eve are generay comparabe, and the syabus for each subject-ine is pubished separatey. Encouraging diverse approaches to the performing, directing and teaching of music, the Dipomas stimuate enjoyment and achievement through the progressive acquisition of skis, knowedge and understanding. As a resut, their usefuness has been acknowedged by music services and agencies around the word. They are compatibe with systems of assessment widey appied in higher education and encourage ifeong earning, without restrictions on ength of study or the requirement that you, the candidate, are taught in an institution. In the UK they have been admitted to the Nationa Quaifications Framework and are accredited by the Quaifications and Curricuum Authority (see p. 122). The Music Performance Dipomas are designed to refect your day-to-day experience as a performer, whether amateur or professiona. As we as demonstrating your skis as a sooist, from LRSM eve there is the opportunity for you to speciaize as an orchestra payer, chamber ensembe member or keyboard accompanist. There are aso options, at a three eves, to perform on an instrument reated to your main instrument for a part of your Recita and to perform repertoire of your own choice. The foowing tasks are incuded: compiing a baanced recita programme, finding editions that suit your interpretation best, and writing about the music taking with confidence about the music and the way you interpret it sight-reading at short notice to a reasonabe standard (Quick Study) putting on the best possibe performance on the day. You wi need to satisfy the examiners that you have a command of your chosen instrument in the context of Western art music. (Throughout this syabus, the term instrument is used to incude voice.) As you move up through the Dipoma eves you wi find that the repertoire becomes more demanding, the Recita time engthens, and the chaenge of the Quick Study, and the scope and ength of your written work, increase. At each eve you wi be assessed according to the overa quaity of your performance, as we as your understanding of and sensitivity to the demands of different types of repertoire. In order to estabish basic eves of competence, a specific prerequisite is required before entry can be made to any eve. However, in ine with our aim to provide open access and to recognize your achievements, we offer a range of substitutions for these prerequisites, incuding your previous earning and experience. The prerequisites and their substitutions are isted in the tabes on pp They are aso to be found on our website ( where any substitutions appearing after the issue of this syabus wi aso be isted. We hope that you find the experience of taking one of our Dipomas stimuating, chaenging and worthwhie, both during the period of preparation and in the exam itsef.

8 6 DIPLOMA CONTENT OVERVIEW Overview The Music Performance Dipomas are avaiabe to instrumenta and voca performers. Through ive and written components, you, the candidate, wi be examined in your command of performance technique and interpretative ski couped with an appropriate knowedge of the idiom and repertoire of your instrument/voice. The Dipomas are conducted in Engish (see p. 34) and are assessed wherever possibe by two examiners. Before you can enter for a Music Performance Dipoma, you wi need to show that you fufi a specific ABRSM prerequisite as evidence that you have reached a required minimum eve of competence. The tabe on pp ists the prerequisites and their possibe substitutions. Each eve of Dipoma comprises a number of requirements that you must satisfy in fu. The requirements are divided into two Sections, as outined beow. You must pass a the requirements of both Sections in order for your Dipoma to be awarded. The requirements must be met in fu within three years. SECTION 1 an instrumenta or voca Recita. SECTION 2 Section 2.1 a Viva Voce, entaiing a discussion with the examiners. a written assignment (reating to your Recita programme) which you shoud be prepared to discuss as part of your Viva Voce, and which contributes to the Viva Voce mark. At DipABRSM and LRSM eves, this assignment takes the form of Programme Notes, which must be presented to the examiners on the day of the exam. At FRSM eve, you are required to prepare a Written Submission, which you must send to the Board with your entry. Section 2.2 a Quick Study performance of a short piece of unaccompanied and previousy unseen music. Fu descriptions of each eve of Dipoma, incuding preparation guidance, are given on the foowing pages. A practica information about taking a Dipoma is described in Practicaities (pp ).
9 DipABRSM Genera information/section 1 7 Prerequisite To be submitted on the day of the exam Timing ABSRM Grade 8 Practica in the instrument presented or a permitted substitution (see p. 20). Two copies of Programme Notes, written by you and iuminating in your own words the repertoire you have chosen to perform in your Recita, must be presented to the examiners at the start of the exam. Fu detais regarding the Programme Notes, incuding ength, are given on pp minutes are aocated to the DipABRSM, of which 35 minutes (+_ 10%) are devoted to the Recita, up to 12 minutes to the Viva Voce and up to 10 minutes to the Quick Study. DIPLOMA CONTENT SECTION 1 Duration Programming Examination music Performing from memory RECITAL You shoud pan your Recita so that it asts approximatey 35 minutes (it may be up to 10% onger or 10% shorter). This tota duration incudes any breaks between items, as we as one onger pause (of up to 5 minutes) for woodwind, brass and singing candidates. Pease note that the examiners reserve the right to stop the Recita if you exceed the prescribed duration. Your programme shoud be argey drawn from the prescribed ists of instrumenta and voca works or movements given on pp You may, however, aso incude in your programme a work or works of your own choice not isted on these pages but comparabe in standard and asting no more than 7 minutes in tota; prior approva from the Associated Board is not required for any such aternative items. Pease note that performing own-choice repertoire gives no advantage over candidates presenting syabus-isted items ony. In your choice of repertoire, you shoud aim to present a generaist programme that offers a wide-ranging yet coherent mixture of periods, stye, mood and tempo, with no more than one work by any singe composer (except where a combination of movements or pieces from a composer s coection is indicated in the prescribed ists). You shoud be abe to demonstrate musica technique and perception at a eve worthy of pubic performance and appreciation. The editions quoted in the repertoire ists on pp are recommendations ony, and you are free to choose any other editions. A works/movements must be performed compete, athough you shoud use your discretion in matters such as the omission of tutti sections or the incusion of cadenzas in concerto movements or other works. The observance of repeats and interpretative decisions such as phrasing and the reaization of ornaments are aso matters in which you are expected to use your discretion to achieve a styisticay appropriate and musicay satisfying performance. Pease note that on the day of the exam you wi need to provide the examiners with copies of a the music you are performing, ideay in the same editions as those you are using. (If photocopies are to be used for this purpose, it is your responsibiity to obtain written permission from the pubisher/copyright hoder.) Athough there is no specific requirement to perform from memory, you are encouraged to do so if you consider it wi enhance your Recita. In particuar, singers are advised to perform their programme from memory, with the exception of oratorio items and compex contemporary scores.
10 8 DIPLOMA CONTENT Accompanists and page-turners Equipment Reated instrument option Other requirements DipABRSM Section 1 You must provide your own accompanist, where appropriate. The accompanist may remain in the exam room ony whie actuay engaged in accompanying. Pease note that examiners wi not act as accompanists under any circumstances. Both you and your accompanist may bring a page-turner, if required. In the case of organ candidates, the page-turner may aso act as registrant. You are recommended to bring your own music stand/stoo, if required. You may not bring into the exam room any materia or equipment unconnected with your exam; any infringement of this rue may ead to disquaification. If your instrument is one of those isted under Main Instrument in the tabe on p. 99, you have the option to pay one work of your Recita on a reated instrument (these are aso isted on p. 99), whie ensuring that the majority of the programme is performed on your main instrument. Pease note that there is no advantage to be gained over other candidates by offering a work on a reated instrument. Candidates not meeting the syabus requirements in any way, such as offering an inappropriate standard of piece, faiing to adhere to the minimum/maximum patform times, or not being prepared to perform the minimum number of movements/pieces or the whoe of a work if specified in the syabus, wi be iabe to penaty. SECTION 1 PREPARATION GUIDANCE FOR RECITAL On the day of the exam, estabish your stage presence right at the outset. Dispaying confidence in entering the exam room, setting in and aowing yoursef time to pause and create a space around each item wi a increase the impact of your Recita. The marking criteria on pp and the attainment descriptions on pp wi hep you to understand what quaities the examiners are ooking for in your performance. The baance of technica and musica attainment shown through your instrumenta abiity, and your communication through musicianship, persona insight, interpretative ski and stage presence, are what count. It may hep to imagine that the Recita is for performance on the radio or at a pubic venue. Athough you are not required to perform from memory, you shoud consider the standard convention for your instrument. For exampe, soo pianists normay perform recitas from memory (whie it is unusua for a pianist paying within a chamber ensembe to do so without the music). In every case, the overriding priority must be the music itsef and your communication and interpretation of it in a professiona context. For singers, reference to the sheet music in performance may not ony be inhibiting but can act as a barrier to the communication and interpretation of the music and the meaning of the text. Singers are therefore advised to use the sheet music ony in oratorio items or compex contemporary works, in ine with common performance practice. In preparing for the exam, you may find it hepfu to attend recitas on a reguar basis in order to earn from approaches taken by professiona performers. Critica istening and comparison of interpretations on record, combined with reading about performance techniques and practices, wi aso be usefu. There is a ist of recommended texts on the Board s website ( copies are aso avaiabe from the Board s office in London. Finay, get to know not ony the pieces within your programme but aso their genera context within each composer s output and the musica era.
11 DipABRSM Section 2 9 SECTION 2.1 VIVA VOCE The Viva Voce is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your knowedge, approach and understanding to the examiners. Questions wi cover your Recita and your Programme Notes, as we as other aspects of performing. The Viva Voce asts up to 12 minutes. Typica areas of discussion in the Viva Voce: Musica and instrumenta outook: questions designed to put you at ease and to ead into the discussion, incuding: choice of repertoire, the chaenges presented and the preparation invoved; knowedge of the underying concepts and principes associated with your instrument. Repertoire and Programme Notes: knowedge of the repertoire performed, incuding biographica information about each composer and the context of each work in the composer s ife and output; detais of commission (if any); the process of composition and first performance; knowedge of the genera musica trends of the era and the pace of each work in the context of the core repertoire. Musica anguage and form: understanding of the structure of each work and the features of its musica anguage. Stye and interpretation: understanding of stye and technique; knowedge of each work in the context of the instrument itsef: historica deveopments, idiom, core repertoire and technica demands; the interpretation of notation and ways to communicate the composer s intentions; performance practices incuding origina instrumentation; approaches to performance, incuding the use of physica space, memory and communication with an audience. Any further points you wish to draw to the examiners attention before the concusion. DIPLOMA CONTENT SECTION 2.1 PREPARATION GUIDANCE FOR VIVA VOCE The tone and manner of the Viva Voce wi be as reaxed as possibe and the examiners wi make every effort to put you at ease. The opening questions wi be informa, progressing to topics on which you are ikey to be knowedgeabe, then on to more chaenging questions. A the questions wi be ceary and directy expressed by the examiners; some wi be open-ended, others wi be more specific. You wi not be penaized if you ask for carification of a question, and the examiners wi not be concerned by short periods of sience when an answer is being considered. You may opt not to answer a question because, for exampe, you fee you might expose an area of fundamenta ignorance. If this happens, the examiners wi assist you with a number of hepfu prompts. They wi form a judgement as to whether your incapacity to offer an answer to a particuar question or series of questions is a significant factor in the assessment of your overa performance in the exam. If appropriate, you may demonstrate a particuar feature or point by performing it, rather than describing it verbay. Appendix 1 contains a number of specimen questions and indicative responses, showing the types of question examiners might ask in the Viva Voce and an indication of appropriate responses. If you are not fuent in Engish you are strongy advised to bring an interpreter (see Language and interpreters, p. 34).
12 10 DIPLOMA CONTENT SECTION 2.2 DipABRSM Section 2 QUICK STUDY In this section of the exam, you are required to perform a short piece of unaccompanied and previousy unseen music of a standard simiar to ABRSM Grade 6 repertoire. Before you perform the Quick Study, you wi be given five minutes in which to ook through the music and to try out any parts of it. During this time the examiners wi not be assessing you. Singers may pay the key-chord and first note of the Quick Study on the piano before they begin their preparation, and as often as they wish prior to the test itsef. During the test, singers who need to reocate their pitch may pay a guide note as appropriate. Singers must sing the text, which wi aways be in Engish. In tota, the Quick Study asts up to 10 minutes. SECTION 2.2 PREPARATION GUIDANCE FOR QUICK STUDY Many candidates choose to perform the Quick Study after their Viva Voce, but you are at iberty to perform it before or after the Recita, if you prefer. You shoud inform the examiners of your preferred order at the start of the exam. The standard of the Quick Study test piece is simiar to the demands of the current repertoire ists for the indicated ABRSM grade. You wi therefore find it hepfu to ook at the pieces set for your instrument at this grade. Since the Quick Study tests have a been composed specificay for the Dipoma exams, they tend to be in a modern, approachabe stye, athough some of the tests have been written in pastiche styes. For keyboard instruments, guitar and harp, the test wi normay be aid out over two pages. For a other instruments, the test wi normay occupy one page. The tests for a instruments are unaccompanied. It is not the ength of the test but the technica and musica chaenges with which you wi be presented that you shoud concentrate on in preparing for the exam. The marking criteria on pp make cear what eve of performance is expected for a pass or above in this test. Making it a habit to expore music unknown to you, and treating the exporation as a quick study exercise, wi give you usefu experience for the exam. On the day, make sure you have mentay adjusted before you undertake the test; for exampe, if you have chosen to perform the Quick Study after your Viva Voce, do not aow yoursef to think about aspects of the Viva Voce discussion, such as ideas you omitted to mention or might have expressed differenty. Using the preparation time to fu advantage is vita to your success in the Quick Study. To pay through sections that do not need any attention is a waste of vauabe time go straight to the bars that matter. Try to avoid the common mistakes of either paying too sowy in order to get every note correct, or nervousy hurrying and tripping over. Getting just the right tempo to aow the music to speak is crucia. And finay, try to project the musica content and stye in an expressive way, communicating the music with your best tone quaity.

Pagiarism Other points The Associated Board defines pagiarism as an attempt to pass off the work of others as one s own. Thus, copying from a pubished or unpubished source without acknowedging it, or constructing a précis of someone ese s writing or ideas without citing that writer, constitutes pagiarism. The Director of Examinations wi consider a suspected cases and candidates wi be penaized or disquaified if a charge of pagiarism is uphed. Candidates wi have a right of appea and representation if such a charge is made. For quaity-assurance purposes, you shoud not identify your name on or inside any submission.

If in any doubt, you shoud contact the pubisher concerned. A submission may not be drawn upon for future use at a higher eve of Associated Board Dipoma, athough reference to it may be cited. A faied submission may form the basis of a resubmission at the same eve. A submission must neither have been previousy pubished nor submitted to any institution or agency for another academic award. The Associated Board reserves the right to refuse examination of any submission if, in its view, it contains materia of an unsuitabe, unseemy or ibeous nature.
