State and Territory Assessment for Flute for Leisure

General Requirements for Practical Examinations - Extracts Introduction In general, practical examinations comprise the presentation of work in the following areas: technical work; studies and pieces, aural tests or sight-reading and general knowledge. Technical Work Unless specified otherwise, all technical work is to be presented from memory. Studies and Pieces Pieces to be presented must be drawn from the lists appropriate for the grade, as included in the current Syllabus. The program should be selected to represent a variety of styles. An Own Choice option is available in Flute for Leisure. See General Notes for details. All music for the examination must be brought to the examination room. Memorisation Except where actually prescribed, candidates are not required to play or sing from memory. However, candidates should be encouraged even at the earliest stages to make a habit of memorizing. Candidates playing from memory must still bring their music to the examination for the General Knowledge section. Regulations Teachers and candidates should note carefully all regulations. Examination Conditions In those cases where examinations are conducted in premises not provided by the AMEB, the local authority or teacher must assume responsibility for the provision of a piano of adequate quality and ensure that it is tuned and regulated (pitch C522 recommended). A music stand must also be provided. Repeats Candidates are required to be familiar with repeats, but these need not be performed during the course of the examination unless specifically requested by the examiner or the backing track. Da capo directions should be observed. (Please refer to General Notes for specific instructions on repeats for the Flute for Leisure syllabus, page 12).

4

Pencil Marks Before entering the examination room candidates should see that all pencil marks, which may have been made on their music to indicate general knowledge information, are carefully erased. Marks indicating fingering, or other teaching aids need not be erased. Editions Original editions are recommended. In the case of arrangements, it is necessary to use the specified volume, as other editions may not meet the required level of difficulty. Metronome Marks Metronome marks should be regarded as an approximate indication of required tempo. Page Turning Teachers and candidates are advised that candidates should not expect examiners to turn pages and adequate steps must be taken to ensure continuity of the music in performance. A page-turner may be used by the candidate and/or accompanist. The page-turner may only remain in the examination room when actually required. Keys of Pieces Teachers and candidates are advised that pieces must be presented in the key that is specified in the syllabus. Aural Tests, Sight Reading, General Knowledge Requirements These can be found in the first section of the 2006 Manual of Syllabuses. Consult the Contents page for the correct page number. Availability of Material The AMEB regrets that due to circumstances beyond its control it is unable to be responsible for the availability of listed syllabus material. Teachers are advised to consult their retailer in this regard or to choose an alternative work from the list. Teachers who are uncertain which retailers stock AMEB syllabus material, are advised to apply to the State Office for a list of such retailers. Teachers and candidates are advised to check all printed examination material issued by authorities other than the Board in order to ensure that it conforms to the standards and requirements of AMEB examinations. Australian Music Centre Candidates requiring facsimile scores from the Australian Music Centre can write direct to the centre at the following address: PO Box N690 Grosvenor Place, Sydney 1220 Phone: (02) 9247 4677 Fax: (02) 9241 2873 Photocopies In general, the Copyright Act prohibits the use of photocopied music.

5

Photocopies should not be used by candidates in AMEB examinations, unless an exception to copyright applies or the relevant music publisher has granted permission for the candidate to make a copy. In some circumstances, a copy of music may be required for use by the examiner. In these cases, if performing from memory, candidates must provide an original published edition of the music to the examiner. If performing from the published music, a photocopy of the music can be provided to the examiner and a ‘Form 3’ from A Practical Copyright Guide to the Use of Print Music in Australia should be completed and attached. If unsure of the provisions of the Copyright Act please contact the Print Music Manager at AMCOS (02) 9935 7700. A Practical Copyright Guide to the Use of Print Music in Australia is available from music retailers, AMCOS, or may be downloaded from www.apra.com.au. Objectives The syllabus contains a set of objectives that provide guidance on examiners’ expectations of achievement at each level.

Test Requirements for Candidates in Practical Examinations AURAL TESTS Aural Tests in Grades other than Preliminary will be played twice. In the case of tests specified in more than one grade, the difficulty of the examples given to the candidates will be adjusted to the standards of the respective grades. Interval Tests: Boys whose voices are at the ‘breaking’ stage may respond to the pitch tests by whistling instead of humming or singing. In tests where interval recognition is required, attention is drawn to the method of answering these questions. Third Grade requires candidates to name the interval as being the second, third, fourth, or fifth of the scale. In Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Grades, candidates are required to name the intervals as major second, major third, perfect fourth, etc. Preliminary Grade TIME : To clap the beats of simple chord passages played in two or three beat time by the examiner at varying speeds – slow, moderate and quick, and to continue clapping or beating after examiner ceases to play. RHYTHM : To hum, sing, clap or tap the note values of a simple rhythmical two-bar passage played by the examiner. PITCH: To sing or hum the notes of a short melodic phrase of five or six notes of one beat length. The examiner will first play the phrase and then repeat it, waiting on each note for the candidate to sing the note. PITCH: To state which is the higher or lower of any two notes played separately, not less than a third apart.

6

First Grade PITCH: To hum or sing the tonic at the end of a short unfinished phrase played by the examiner. RHYTHM : The examiner will play twice a passage in duple or triple time. The candidate will then tap or clap the passage. PITCH: To hum or sing a short phrase played twice by the examiner, combining melody and time. Second Grade RHYTHM : The examiner will play twice a passage in duple or triple time. The candidate will then tap or clap the passage. PITCH: To hum or sing a short phrase played twice by the examiner, combining melody and time. PITCH: To hum or sing the higher or lower of two notes a major third or a perfect fifth apart within the limits of an octave from middle C played simultaneously by the examiner. Third Grade RHYTHM: The examiner will play twice a passage in duple or triple time. The candidate will then tap or clap the passage and state whether it is duple or triple time. MELODY: To hum or sing a short phrase played twice by the examiner, combining melody and time. PITCH: To hum or sing the higher or lower of any two notes within the limits of an octave from middle C played simultaneously by the examiner. PITCH: The examiner, having sounded on the piano a note to be regarded as the keynote of the scale, the candidate will hum or sing and afterwards name the interval of the second, third, fourth or fifth of the major scale as played by the examiner, in succession to the keynote. Fourth Grade RHYTHM: The examiner will play twice a passage in duple or triple time. The candidate will then tap or clap the passage and state whether it is in duple or triple time. PITCH: The examiner, having sounded on the piano a note, to be regarded as the keynote of the scale, the candidate will hum or sing and name any interval of the major scale played by the examiner immediately after the keynote. PITCH: To hum or sing from memory the higher or lower part of a two-part progression of two successive intervals within the compass of an octave from middle C as played by the examiner. PITCH: The examiner, having sounded any major or minor triad either in root position or an inversion played within the limits of an octave, the candidate will hum or sing the middle note. SIGHT READING TESTS Level 1 The candidate is required to demonstrate: • Accuracy in reading and performance of time and rhythm • Accuracy in reading and performance of pitch • Performance at the tempo indicated in the music

7

• Dynamics, articulation and style as indicated. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE TESTS For candidates in practical examinations – Level 1 Candidates can be expected to be asked: • At least one question about each List piece presented; • Between 6 to 10 questions in total; • Examinations on solo instruments, questions will be asked from the candidates’ part

(not the accompaniment part).

Regulations - Extracts Please refer to 2006 Manual of Syllabus for full Regulations. General Candidates must present for examination using the syllabus listed as available within the current AMEB Manual of Syllabuses. The syllabus chosen for examination must be presented in its entirety. A combination of different syllabuses is not accepted for examination. Subject to these Regulations, arrangements for the examinations in each State will be carried out in accordance with the procedure adopted by the State concerned. REPORTS AND CERTIFICATES Examination Reports A report from the examiner is provided for the information of candidates and teachers. The examiner’s report carries the examination result. Certificates Certificates will be awarded to candidates who fulfill the requirements of the award. Certificates specify the subject and grade or diploma of examination and the result obtained. EXAMINATION PROCEDURES Inability to Present for Examination Candidates, who are prevented by illness or other exceptional cause from presenting themselves for examination, should notify the State Office as soon as possible. On payment of a transfer fee, it may be possible to re-schedule the examination. Details can be obtained from the State Office.

8

Accompanied Pieces Examination pieces, which require accompaniment may not be heard or assessed without the necessary accompaniment. The examiner is not permitted to play the accompaniment for the candidate. If there is one such work lacking accompaniment the result will be reduced by one level; eg. A down to B etc. If there are two or more such pieces then the result will either be reduced by two levels from A to a C or, if the result would have been other than an A, ‘unable to assess’ will be stated on the reports sheet, and an explanation made in the general remarks. Performance of Prescribed Pieces Examiners may at their discretion hear the whole or any portion of the prescribed pieces presented for examination. Complaints Every effort is made to make each examination a validating experience. The examiners are professionals in their field and are highly trained to conduct quality assessments and approved informative reports. Each State Office has established procedures for handling complaints. Should you have a concern or complaint about an examination, please contact the State Office. RESULTS Assessment System PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS Level 1 The syllabus objectives introduce the first level of the syllabus. They specify the required areas of achievement and are the axis upon which candidates and teachers work and upon which candidates expect to be assessed. The detailed Grading Descriptors report the candidate’s achievement against the objectives for the level and the specific syllabus requirements for the grade. Grading Descriptors: Grades – Level 1 High Distinction – A+: In addition to satisfying the requirements for an A grading (below), the candidate demonstrates outstanding achievement in meeting the syllabus objectives in all Sections, including performance flair, consistent technical fluency and penetrating stylistic insight. Honours – A: The candidate demonstrates an overall superior level of achievement in meeting the syllabus objectives in all Sections, in terms of musicianship, security of technique (including intonation, tone, phrasing, articulation, rhythm) and stylistic awareness. Credit – B+ or B: B+: In addition to satisfying the requirements of a B grading (below), the candidate demonstrates meritorious achievement against most of the syllabus objectives. B: The candidate demonstrates an overall creditable level of achievement with appropriate development of musicianship, technique and stylistic awareness in accordance with the syllabus objectives. Some unevenness of achievement in meeting

9

the syllabus objectives or between different Sections of the examination may be apparent. Satisfactory – C+ or C: C+: In addition to satisfying the requirements for a C grading (below), the candidate demonstrates more than adequate achievement against some of the syllabus objectives in each Section. C: The candidate demonstrates an overall adequate level of achievement in musicianship, technique and style in accordance with the syllabus objectives. Considerable unevenness of achievement in meeting the syllabus objectives, or between different Sections of the examination, may be apparent. Not Satisfactory – D: The candidate demonstrates an overall inadequate level of musicianship, technique and style and does not satisfy the syllabus objectives. Often this has resulted from inadequate preparation. Presentation is often hesitant, evidencing technical errors and/or an inappropriate sense of style.

Flute for Leisure Aim The Flute for Leisure syllabus aims to: • Offer a structured and systematic progression of study with an emphasis on a broad

range of repertoire • Encourage candidates studying a broad range of repertoire to work towards technical

and artistic goals • Provide candidates studying popular repertoire with an established system of

assessment and recognition of achievement within their field of study, from an internationally recognized body.

New Syllabus The Flute for Leisure syllabus is a pilot popular Flute syllabus to be introduced for use in South Australia and Northern Territory. Flute for Leisure is an exciting addition to the AMEB’s range of syllabuses and caters to a variety of tastes and interests. The Flute for Leisure syllabus is designed for all ages and explores popular repertoire including well-loved classics, jazz standards, movies, popular songs and concert arrangements. Its unique style provides students with the groundwork for life-long learning. Structure of the Syllabus The syllabus currently comprises Preliminary to Fourth Grade. Pitch Students are strongly recommended to adopt, as far as possible, the recognized normal pitch – C522, A440 – as this is the pitch at which the majority of pianos are tuned.

10

Technical Work All Technical Work is to be performed from memory. It is recommended that teachers and candidates refer to the AMEB Flute Technical Work Book (Allan’s Publishing 1998 revised). Intonation The ability of candidates to play in tune is essential. Candidates should tune their own instruments. Pieces For all grades: • A contrasting, balanced program should be presented (refer to code below) • No more than one unaccompanied work may be presented • Only the edition for the arrangement of the work stipulated in the syllabus can be

used by the candidate in examination. Code: PC - Popular Classical P - Popular J - Jazz W - World V - Various Candidates are required to present either: • three works from the Syllabus List, OR • two works from the Syllabus List and one Own Choice work, a copy of which is to

be brought to the examination for use by the examiner. Own Choice Works presented under Own Choice may include the student’s own composition or arrangement. Candidates may also select works from the traditional flute syllabus as their own choice work. The teacher and student are responsible for ensuring that the Own Choice work meets a standard appropriate to the grade. No prior AMEB approval is required, but a copy of the work must be brought to the examination for use by the examiner. Refer to the requirements on photocopies in the General Requirements Practical Examinations – Excerpts. Accompanist For works requiring piano accompaniment, an accompanist (who may be the teacher) must be provided by the candidate. The accompanist may remain in the examination room only when actually required. Backing Tracks Where candidates wish to use backing tracks, it is their responsibility to provide and operate suitable equipment for such performances. Where candidates are presenting a work with CD accompaniment, they must play with the backing track only, not the demonstration track.

11

Some works, which have a CD accompaniment, include a ‘practice backing track’, usually taken at a tempo slower than the demonstration track. This track must not be presented for examination – the performance must be at the same tempo as the demonstration track. Articulation and Phrasing In some notated jazz and popular music, articulation and phrasing are left to the discretion of the performer. Where this is the case and no articulation/phrasing details are evident, it may be appropriate for the candidate to interpret this aspect of the performance according to the style of the piece. This does not apply to classical music or where clearly indicated on works of any genre, including jazz and popular music works. Time allowed for examinations Preliminary 12 mins First Grade 14 mins Second Grade 15 mins Third Grade 17 mins Fourth Grade 20 mins AMEB Publications The following AMEB publication is available and applies to this syllabus:

AMEB Flute Technical Work Book (Allan’s Publishing 1998 revised).

Repeat Signs No repeat signs should be played unless otherwise specified. The exception is for works with CD backing. Improvisation No additional credit will be allocated for any improvisation. While it is acknowledged that within some of the styles presented some improvisation is often considered appropriate, care must be taken to maintain the work’s musical integrity and level of difficulty. If a piece indicates that the player may play the written solo or improvise, the written solo must be played. Duets Duets can be performed in duet format and the teacher can be the duet partner.
