Many thanks for the detailed sharing! Are there any samples for the Part 2: Performance in Context? Am planning to take LRSM in June and am looking for samples for Part 2 (on the length and depth of the analysis on the pieces). Heard that there were internal materials available for the teachers
Hi, firstly, thanks for your kind words! Since the diploma has just launched in April, there is limited information on unit 2 performance in context, aside from those already released by ABRSM which we have summarised in the video. You may refer to the programme notes writing guidance from the previous diploma, to give you a brief idea: pianoandguitarlesson.wordpress.com/2024/04/27/complete-guide-to-lrsm/ Perhaps you may evaluate according to the 2000 word count range, and the number of pieces in your programme. For instance, you have 5 pieces in the programme, so each piece around 400 word count. From there, try making drafts and observe word count, that should give you a clearer picture on the length & depth of your research. If I am not mistaken, there was a seminar hosted by ABRSM Asia on the new LRSM & FRSM a while back. However, we did not manage to attend, hence unsure if there is any internal material.
Hello, I am struggling to write the part of "reflection" and don't know how I should write it. It seems easy but actually quite tricky to articulate it well within the word count. Do you have any suggestion on this? Thanks!
Hi, it would very much depends on the option that you went for. For instance, in option 1- Informing your audience: you may write on your observation if the programme successfully convey your message to the audience and elaborate about what that message/vision of your programme, observation about audience's feelings after listening the whole programme, and what would you change in the future to better deliver the message. In option 2 - detailed programme analysis: after conducting the research, what are the new information or knowledge acquired during the process, how did it help your performance and specifically on which aspect of the music (techniques, musicality, etc) and how would it help your future performances. In option 3 - programming your performance: what kind of thought process went into designing the programme, and what is the factor that makes you finalise with the decision of the way the programme is. (chronological order? the emotions: heavy-light etc?) how did the programme affected your performance (in terms of style? technical difficulty? adjusting mindset/emotions?) and how well-planned was the programme in your opinion. In option 4 - preparation of performance: elaborate on beginning, middle and final stage of your preparation, how your thoughts changed based on feedback and research. What were some new ideas gained? Who inspired you to change your approach? (Certain musicians recordings? Teacher's feedback? etc) How well you handled the program and how you thought the performance went. Hope it helps, cheers!
