I moved over to Con Brio Examinations in late 2024. I now prepare the majority of my students for examination through Con Brio. There are many benefits to Con Brio exams:
- only 3 pieces are required, which are videoed individually
- video exams can be submitted anytime, and are marked within a week
- comprehensive feedback is received, including a numerical score
- there is an enormous variety of repertoire, including all the pieces in the AMEB / Rockschool / other exam syllabus options, which enables us to mix and match all kinds of pieces, with or without backing tracks
- they are significantly cheaper
Students can still learn technical work and practise sight reading, aural and other musicianship skills; we just don’t examine them if we go through Con Brio exams.
Student Results
Three of the four students who have been examined through Con Brio so far have been featured in their Hall of Fame for achieving the highest marks amongst their grade.
