Performance Evaluation Codes

Non-graded Performance Evaluations are offered for candidates who wish to receive feedback from a senior examiner. Candidates can either play for the full duration of the Evaluation and receive written feedback, or play for half the duration then have a discussion with the examiner.

Subject Codes for Performance Evaluations are denoted by the code for the equivalent graded exam followed by a "b".

E.g. Piano Eighth Grade Performance Evaluation - 1568b
