This is a one sheet document specifically designed for students to hand to their visiting instrumental staff or private instrumental staff. How many times have you explained the G.C.S.E. performing requirements to students and this has been lost “in transit” ? How many times have you e mailed instrumental teachers to reinforce the performing requirements? How many times have your students presented a piece to perform that doesn’t quite fit the requirement? This sheet is simply for students to hand to their instrumental staff for - or for you to e mail directly -so that everyone can be kept well informed. One sheet full of accurate information. The sheet also simply reminds students of the performance requirements for EDUQAS G.C.S.E. Music. Hopefully it will be useful to you!
