Amusf diploma level 3

Wednesdays or Thursdays  9am-4.30pm, Sept 2019-July2020

​

Briefly, each stage of the syllabus contains the following. Items highlighted in bold are the pieces that will be marked at the end of each stage but all other exercises must be completed. Students will also receive tuition on underpinning knowledge. It is expected that the written research project will be undertaken away from the class and is outside of the 247 hours, however we do offer extensive lectures on elements of the project. 

 In addition to what is specified on the syllabus we expect students to also do extra practice pieces and often set homework.
