MUSIC EXAMS
Most music schools prepare students to take instrumental examinations although this is not obligatory. Music exams are externally provided assessments where candidates are obliged to prepare a set number of pieces and technical challenges/skills in a performance setting.
​
Music instrument exams are graded in difficulty from 1 to 8, and the level that the student wishes to take is dependent on their skill level. Exams in music do not need to be taken consecutively, and it is possible for a student at an advanced level to take just one exam - grade 8.
South Dublin Music prepares and enters students for the following examination bodies:
-
Royal Irish Academy of Music (Irl)
-
Trinity College London (UK)
-
Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (UK)
​
All music exams require the payment of an exam entry fee, and the choice of examination body is dependent upon agreement between the tutor/student and South Dublin Music.
