Solo
Solo
What is the aim of the Solo component?
Performing as a soloist helps a Music Medals candidate to develop musical independence and individuality, allowing young musicians to focus on their own sound as well as their personal expression.
Assessment Requirements
The candidate plays one piece from the solo repertoire list for his or her instrument and Medal. All solo repertoire can be found using our dynamic repertoire search tool.
Performance Notes
- The candidate may play his or her Solo piece either with an accompaniment (live or CD backing track) or unaccompanied.
- Repeats may be played at the discretion of the Teacher-Assessor or candidate. However, those repeats that are essential to the musical structure must be observed.
- Ornaments may be simplified or omitted – a more confident simpler version is preferable to a performance becoming unrhythmic.
