A-level Music: Performing

To every performance recording, you must bring:

1. YOUR SHEET MUSIC, unless you are performing from memory.

2. THE ACCOMPANIST'S SHEET MUSIC, for piano or other instrument if performing a duet. 

3. FOR EACH PERFORMANCE YOU RECORD, YOU MUST ALSO SUBMIT A PDF OF THE EXAMINER'S SHEET MUSIC TO THE FOLDER ON THE MUSIC COURSEWORK HOMEPAGE. 

4. YOUR MP3 BACKING TRACKS if you are performing with a backing track instead of live accompaniment. Upload your backing tracks HERE

*Note: the examiner's sheet music is NOT your sheet music - it will not be returned to you for performances during or at the end of the course.

If you do not yet have the sheet music you need, purchase and/or download free sheet music from:

If you wish to perform with a backing track, please upload it here:
