Repertoire Guidelines
Repertoire Guidelines
For their Music Medal, candidates must choose one of the Ensemble pieces and one of the Solo pieces listed by level on the repertoire lists. Search for repertoire.
The letters appearing in the grid next to the Ensemble titles indicate both the size of group required for each piece (duet, trio or quartet) and the level of each line (C Copper, B Bronze, S Silver, G Gold, P Platinum). Thus, the letters CCB denote a trio for two players at Copper level and one player at Bronze level, with the initial C representing the first or top line and the B representing the third or bottom line. Bracketed letters indicate lines that must be played but cannot be assessed for the purposes of a Medal. Teacher-Assessors may perform in any duet with the candidate at Copper and Bronze levels and may also take a line in any trio or quartet at all five levels. Those lines marked (T) are to be played by the Teacher-Assessor, although they may also be performed by a suitably advanced pupil.
Accommodating the range of abilities found in groups, the Ensemble pieces comprise parts that are either all at the same level or combine a part or parts for one adjacent level. As a result, to maximize the choice of possible repertoire at any given level, the Ensemble pieces listed under the adjacent Medal(s) should be consulted. For example, the choice for a Silver level candidate embraces not only all of the pieces in the Silver lists but those pieces in the adjacent (Bronze and Gold) lists that feature assessable Silver lines such as a trio BSS or a duet GS.
