Sight-Reading
Option Four: Sight-Reading
Performance Details
Candidates who select the Sight-Reading Option are required to play four bars of unfamiliar music, following half a minute of preparation.
The Teacher-Assessor advises that
the candidate may try out any part or parts of the test for half a minute before playing the whole test.
There are no tempo indications as candidates are encouraged to establish an appropriate tempo for themselves, taking into account the speed at which they can play the music while maintaining a steady pulse and, at the higher levels, the character of the music.
