PRELIMINARY EXAM REQUIREMENTS
At preliminary level you will be expected to perform 4 tunes. The tunes
should be simple in type - for example, easy marches, airs, polkas etc. No
ornamentation or embellishment will be expected at this stage, but points
will be given for accuracy, fluency, phrasing and style.
All tunes must be played from memory. All repeats must be included and
the tune should be played twice.
