Music assessment specification
Scholarship Performance Standard (93305) | Music |
Method of assessment | Portfolio submission |
For year | 2022 |
Format of the assessment
Candidates will submit a portfolio of work, including a critical reflective analysis.
The portfolio must contain evidence of the candidate’s work as either a performer, a composer, or a musicologist. A portfolio is an organised collection of evidence that clearly communicates the candidate’s knowledge, understanding, and skills relevant to the Scholarship Music Performance Standard in their chosen discipline.
The performance, composition, or musicology portfolio must include a written critical reflective analysis that meets the following conditions:
- Length: no longer than 3000 words.
- Originality: the sources of ideas other than the candidate’s own must be acknowledged.
- Sources: primary and secondary sources, including references to scores, must be acknowledged using formal referencing conventions.
- Presentation: appropriate conventions for clear presentation of text should be followed, e.g. headings and subheadings, paragraphs, work titles in italics – for reference, see Trevor Herbert, Music in Words: A Guide to Researching and Writing about Music (London: ABRSM Publishing, 2001).
- Document format: numbered A4 pages.
