The examination has three components:
1: Teaching
Teach a 20-minute lesson to a pupil. This can be in-person at the examination or video recorded and submitted in advance.
Also, the pupil may be of any age, but candidates must have been teaching the pupil for a period of at least six months.
2: Presentation & demonstration and performance
Presentation & demonstration
Candidates will be required to give a presentation of approximately 20 minutes in length, focusing principally on either two or three pieces taken from the current LCME repertoire lists for the instrument (Grades 1 to 8).
Candidates are expected to talk about their approaches to teaching these pieces.
Performance
Candidates are required to perform one piece of Grade 7 standard or above, chosen from the current LCME repertoire list for their instrument.
Candidates are expected to talk about their approaches to teaching these pieces.
3: Discussion
A wide-ranging discussion which will be based on issues arising from
either or both of Components 1 and 2. Some wider issues may also be introduced. However, the discussion will focus primarily on the standard or level of pupil which was used in Component 1.
