Music Instrumental Exams 

The College encourages students to participate in music examinations, as these provide a range of valuable benefits, including: 

 

  • Receiving feedback from an external examiner, offering an additional perspective on their progress. 

  • Working toward an authentic deadline, which often motivates consistent practice. 

  • Gaining formal acknowledgement of their achievement in the form of a certificate. 

  • Developing confidence in an exam environment, with skills that easily transfer to situations such as NAPLAN and other College assessments. 

  • Building strong performance skills, which support students who may wish to pursue Music at VCE level.
