A teaching skills Viva Voce - discussion with the examiner about teaching skills including demonstrations of teaching approaches.
Unit summary
The Teaching Skills Viva Voce is an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate to the examiners their teaching approaches and their ability to perform to a set standard.
Candidates will be expected to show a thorough understanding of the idiom of their instrument, and this understanding must be derived from practical, not just theoretical, experience. Candidates should also be prepared to discuss in detail their Written Submission, and matters arising from it.
Candidates should bring a good selection of the materials they use to teach your pupils, among which should be current ABRSM graded repertoire for their instrument up to and including DipABRSM, although the Viva Voce will focus mainly on the teaching of post-Grade 8 repertoire. Candidates should be familiar not only with the repertoire but also with the requirements for their instrument and should be prepared to discuss issues relating to the teaching of pupils up to and including DipABRSM.
In order to demonstrate to the examiners that they are able to perform authoritatively to students at the level of DipABRSM, the materials candidates bring to the exam must include repertoire set for DipABRSM (Music Performance) for their instrument (see the Music Performance Diploma Syllabus, published separately or available on the Board’s
website: www.abrsm.org/exams/diplomas).
This Viva Voce will last up to 60 minutes.
