DipLCM Diploma Piano Exam is an increasingly popular choice among our students. This prestigious diploma programme requires candidates to select one piece from the concert repertoire, thereby showcasing their exceptional musicianship and technical prowess. Please see FAQ for more details.
One of the key advantage of the DipLCM Diploma Piano Exam is that it permits candidates to record their exam pieces as separate videos. This is particularly beneficial for those students who may struggle to perform flawlessly for 20 to 30 minutes in one sitting. Unlike other music exam boards, the LCM exam board recognizes the importance of accommodating students who may require additional support to perform at their best.
By selecting the DipLCM Diploma Piano Exam, students can be confident that they are choosing a respected qualification that is recognized worldwide. With the added convenience of being able to record their exam pieces as separate videos, they can approach the exam with greater ease and confidence, knowing that they have been given every opportunity to showcase their musical talents to the best of their ability.
In addition to the aforementioned benefits, it is worth noting that the news regarding the recording of exam pieces as separate videos has been verified by contacting the examiner directly.
As for the recognition of the DipLCM Diploma Piano Exam, students need not worry. The certification is highly regarded, with piano teachers who have attained this diploma being employed by local music schools and piano agencies. In fact, if you were to call up music schools in Singapore, they would recognize the certificate.
Furthermore, LCM music diplomas are mapped against the University of West London BMus and MMus degrees, which means that they are awarded automatic credit value. This is an impressive achievement, and it highlights why so many young students are keen to take this exam. For them, it represents an excellent stepping stone towards pursuing a degree in music programme after completing their secondary school O level exam.
Another important consideration for our students is the duration of the exam pieces. Many students prefer to only record their exam pieces and do not wish to undergo sight reading or aural tests. As such, the diploma concert exam is the ideal option for them.
This exam requires candidates to play pieces that cover a duration of 30-40 minutes, along with programme notes of approximately 100 words. This provides ample opportunity for students to showcase their skills and demonstrate their mastery of the piano.
Furthermore, the diploma concert exam is highly regarded by piano teachers and music schools. It is recognized as a rigorous and comprehensive assessment of a candidate’s musical abilities, and as such, it is an excellent preparation for those who wish to pursue music at the tertiary level.
The DipLCM Diploma Piano Exam is an excellent choice for students who are serious about their musical education. With its recognition by local music schools and piano agencies, its mapping to University of West London BMus and MMus degrees, and its accommodation for students who prefer to record their exam pieces, it is a highly regarded qualification that represents a significant achievement for any aspiring pianist.
The diploma concert exam is a rigorous assessment that requires candidates to perform a selection of pieces lasting between 30-40 minutes. In addition to the performance, candidates are also required to submit programme notes of around 100 words each. These notes should cover the historical background of the composer, the background of the music, the characteristics of the pieces, and provide a simple analysis of the music.
To successfully complete the exam, candidates must submit a recording of their performance, along with the accompanying programme notes. In addition to these materials, candidates are also required to upload the front and back parts of their IC card.
Preparing for the diploma concert exam requires a significant amount of time and effort, and candidates must be able to demonstrate a high level of technical proficiency, as well as a deep understanding of the music they are performing. However, successful completion of the exam can be a significant achievement, and can open up many opportunities for further study and performance in the field of music.
One common question regarding the diploma concert exam is what repertoire to choose. Candidates are required to include at least one piece from the in-concert repertoire list, which can be found on the relevant website. It is recommended that candidates choose pieces from this list that showcase their strengths and abilities.
One piece that has proven popular with many students is Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in D major. A sample recording of this piece, performed by previous diploma students, can be found on our YouTube playlist.
For the remaining pieces in the programme, candidates can choose from their own repertoire list. It is important to select pieces that complement each other and create a cohesive programme. Candidates should also consider their own strengths and weaknesses when selecting pieces, as well as the time available for preparation.
Overall, careful selection of repertoire is crucial to success in the diploma concert exam. With the right pieces, candidates can showcase their skills and demonstrate their musical abilities to the fullest extent.
