Music for Licentiate & Fellowship Examinations

We hope that the chart below will help to clarify the music situation.

Licentiate - From September 2000 all Licentiate classes whether Grade or Major must be conducted to CD and/or cassette. The second part of the examination will also be conducted to CD and/or cassette and candidates must bring a good range of their own unset music, as in the Associate, to cover Grade, Major and Boys' work. Pianists will no longer be supplied for any Licentiate examinations in the UK. At present Fellowship will remain as it is with a pianist supplied by HQ. As soon as Advanced 1 and Advanced 2 are on CD the Fellowship Examination will also be conducted without a pianist.

Now that so many of the Modern Grades and Majors are available on CD we thought we would clarify the use of piano/CD for all the Modern and Tap examinations.

Syllabus Notes

Music
Some points about CD operating still need to be made clear. Associate/Licentiate/Fellowship - CD/Tape operators will be provided by the examination centre and not the candidate. Candidates may not operate CD/Tape for themselves except in the class section of Licentiate and Fellowship exams. If you are taking one of these exams at HQ or a centre please check with the organiser to check what CD/Tape or possibly mini-disk facilities are going to be available.

Jazz Awards
Please would teachers use one piece of music for a whole examination set and not individual items to suit each candidate. The timing of the examination is based on this premise. The Jazz Awards are not designed for the amateur adult. Although there is no set age limit the Committee would ask teachers to be professional about this matter and not enter adults for this examination. The examination is not appropriate for this age group. Teachers may like to consider using the Body Focus work for adult classes and possibly adapting it with use of their own amalgamations.

Licentiate Amalgamations and Sequences
From January 2001 teachers will no longer be required to prepare a Rhythmic Action Sequence for Grade 4 boys. Either the Grade 3 or Grade 4 set floor sequence should be prepared. Similarly either the Grade 3 or Grade 4 set amalgamation (Jungle Boy or Tip Off) should be prepared and one girl's set amalgamation from either Pre-Intermediate/Intermediate or Advanced 1
