- Music stands (if needed for etude) are provided during examination.
- Recording will take place inside one of the classrooms.
- All candidates have 15 minutes to set up and record.
- Before you begin, staff will record your photo ID so that the CCOM examiner can confirm your identity during evaluation. Because of this procedure, your photo ID must be a physical copy and electronic version cannot be used.
- You will then be seated at the assigned area and your playing position must face directly to the camera. If you must use a music stand, the music stand will be placed at an angle where your performance is not blocked.
- You will play the etude piece first, followed by the song piece. All musical pieces have to be played from memory.
- If you make a minor mistake, do not start over. Simply continue playing.
- In most cases when there is a repeat in the song, you may go directly to the second ending or skip the repeat.
- All candidates will only have one chance to complete the recording. From announcing your name in the beginning till the end of performing your etude and song piece, video must be continuous and cannot be paused.
- Family members will need to wait outside of the classroom until recording is finished.
