Accompanists
The majority of pupils will require an accompanist for their exam, with the exception of piano and guitar. Please ensure you select this option when entering unless you would prefer to provide your own accompanist, in which case please let us know.
To provide additional support for your child as their exam approaches, we also organise the opportunity for a pre-exam run-through with our accompanist. This will give pupils the chance to become more familiar with performing their pieces with the piano and can be particularly important for those who are unable to play with the piano during their lessons. This option can be selected on the application form.
