IMPORTANCE OF EXAM COACHING SESSIONS: Some of you
may have received exam letters and a list of coaching sessions recently. It is very important that you attend your
exam coaching sessions. During these
sessions you will go through the exam etiquette, learn how to space your work
in the room under exam conditions with a small number of candidates rather than
the whole class, sometimes it is necessary to work with the exam pianist and
meet the other children who you will be working with in the exam itself. It is also vital time for giving a chance for
teachers to liaise individually with children and parents over necessary
practice points. If children miss most
of their coaching lessons the teacher may withdraw them from the exam and there
would be no refund of fees.
MUSICAL THEATRE SHOWS: This
is the plan for dress rehearsals and shows.
