Rationale
London College of Music Examinations graded
and diploma qualifications make a distinctive contribution to education
in and through music, and speech, drama and communication, because
of the emphasis placed upon the following combination of characteristics:
| • |
Creative thinking; |
| • |
Practical skills either
independent of literacy, or related to it; |
| • |
Encouragement to think,
both technically and critically, about the repertoire
performed in practical examinations; |
| • |
A distinctively broad stylistic
range, as reflected in tasks, endorsements and repertoire; |
| • |
The provision of assessment
in areas not traditionally included within the scope
of graded examinations; |
| • |
A strong emphasis towards the acquisition and demonstration
of skills and understandings that are of contemporary
relevance to the performing arts. |
Syllabus Objectives
| A course of
study based on this syllabus is intended to provide: |
| • |
candidates with a range
of performance skills, particularly with respect to
ensemble awareness; |
| • |
opportunities for learning
and assessment that are both creatively challenging
and technologically relevant; |
| • |
opportunities for mastery
learning that are structured and directly related to
the repertoire published for each grade; |
| • |
candidates with the basis for study and practice to
develop relevant and usable skills and concepts. |
