a) 70% of the total mark will be allotted by the instructor on the basis of weekly achievement in the various aspects of the course. This will be recorded by the instructor at the conclusion of each lesson. Factors to be considered are progress, punctuality and attendance, musicianship and completion of the minimum requirements.

b) 30% of the total mark will be based on a jury examination which two members of the music faculty will adjudicate.

c) Up to 10% of the total mark will be deducted for unsatisfactory participation in recitals and masterclasses.

    The following explains the grading calculation:

 

    5% is deducted for failure to perform

    1% is deducted for each absence from the Arts at One series

    If a student has not attended the required number of divisional recitals, 1% is deducted for each absence.

    1% is added for each additional performance and/or accompaniment above the minimum. This addition will only offset marks that have been deducted.

    For piano concentrators, 1% is deducted for failure to accompany.
