INTERNATIONAL MUSIC EXAMINATIONS BOARD INTRODUCTION The syllabi of the IMEB are designed to meet the needs of those teaching and learning music, speech, drama and theatre arts. The examinations will be found to be comprehensive and catering for those interested academically or as a performer. The lists contain works ranging from early times to up-to-date contemporary examples, plus own choice options. All work is carefully and sequentially graded. Teachers preparing students for IMEB examinations will have a very sound outline on which to develop their lessons. IMEB examinations make provision for many abilities and give a goal for students in their studies. They provide a sense of purpose and direction and can be taken in addition to other activities, as they are not intended to be the only studies in a student’s year. Examination reports reflect a reliable assessment of progress and, by comments and marks, assist individual development. In each IMEB syllabus, teachers will find the requisites of a system of training for their students through the Grades to the Diploma levels. The aim is to encourage personal development in music, speech, drama, theatre arts and performance in each individual. It is the wish of the IMEB to help teachers and their students in the development of their skills, acquisition of knowledge and enhanced self-confidence according to age and experience, not to discourage and set impossible or unrealistic standards. At every IMEB examination level, selections are made from each section list of specified works or own choice. Own Choices give an opportunity for teachers and candidates to explore the repertoire appropriate for individual grade level, age, interest and experience and thereby have some ownership of their examination program. It is expected that all Own Choice items will be thoughtfully and responsibly selected and provide challenge and motivation for individuals in order to assist personal development. Examiners will expect standards of achievement commensurate to the candidate’s age and grade level, and to show thorough preparation for each examination component and section. An exciting section is the ‘Performance Examinations’. Many students wish to learn music, speech, drama and theatre arts as a leisure activity and would like to receive recognition of their progress – these examinations are the answer as the assessment is based on the candidate’s performance, not the technical or theoretical aspects. Students may a present a wide variety of items in the Performance Examination as the syllabus allows for the teacher and candidate to choose the performance pieces. Candidates in this area may progress to the Diploma of Performance. The IMEB was formed in response to many requests from teachers of music, speech, drama and theatre arts looking for an alternative examination system. IMEB examinations are perceived to be more flexible and user-friendly than some other examination systems. All examiners are highly qualified and experienced teachers and therefore have a good understanding of the problems faced by both teachers and students.

FLUTE PERFORMANCE SYLLABUS

MUSIC PERFORMANCE : SYLLABUS Introduction These examinations are designed for candidates who wish to concentrate on the art of performing rather than the more academic side of music.

Preparatory Levels 1-3 require the performance of three different and contrasting music items. Levels 1-5 require the performance of three different, contrasting brackets of performance items to take up the specified time. Levels 6 and 7 require the performance of four different and contrasting brackets of items to take up the specified time. Level 8 requires an appropriate 45 minute program of varied and contrasting music performance items, divided into four brackets. Diploma in Music Performance requires appropriately varied and contrasting performance items to comprise a thoughtfully conceived program of music, divided into four brackets, to reflect a range of styles, periods and cultures. Candidates may wish to invite an audience to this performance, and whilst this is optional it is strongly recommended in order to give the Music Performance a genuine sense of occasion, purpose and achievement. A suitable venue must be provided and a printed program available for audience members.

NB In each level, the candidate will be required to submit a suitably presented written program containing brief notes relating to the items selected for performance, and indicating research appropriate to age and stage of development. Candidates in each level will also be required to verbally introduce the performance to be presented and to announce each individual item to the examiner. Extra pieces may be included in each bracket if desired/necessary to make up the allotted examination time in all levels up to Level 7. Memorization of performance items is optional.
