he St. Cecilia examination system has been in operation
since
1974 and has been designed to provide students with an
Tassessment which, in the early stages, examines their performance
and technical skills, along with their aural perception
and theoretical knowledge.
The Beginner, Junior, Preliminary and First Concert
Certificate
examinations are best taken six-monthly. Each examination
follows
naturally to the next and for this reason we advise that levels
not be
missed or skipped. We are endeavouring to provide students
with
an examination experience as much as an assessment. Dynamic
contrasts are expected in all grades, even when they are not
printed
on the music.
Our graded Performance Examinations are very innovative.
Please
read the forwarding notes which have been especially written
to
explain the purpose and philosophy behind these unique
grades.
Students who demonstrate that they are familiar with the
requirements and who perform accurately and confidently as
well
as musically, will always be successful. It is essential that
teachers
ensure that all students who enter for any of our examinations
are
thoroughly prepared.
Each St. Cecilia grade is a unit which may be credited towards
the
St. Cecilia Diploma.
We hope you enjoy using this syllabus.
Welcome to St. Cecilia!

General Regulations
ST CECILIA MUSIC EXAMINATIONS
The St. Cecilia examination system has been successfully
operating for over
30 years. It provides teachers and music students with an
accredited system of
assessment based on sound educational and musical
principles.
We are prepared to operate as flexibly as possible without
compromising the
efficiency and standards which have been carefully set. But in
order to allow
the system to work fairly and at a minimum cost to everyone
concerned we
do rely on teachers and students adhering to a few basic
regulations.
Ensure that entry forms are fully and accurately completed.
Submit one
cheque or postal order with the completed entry form to cover
the total
cost of examinations entered. We advise against paying by cash
for security
reasons and will not take responsibility for problems arising in
such
circumstances.
Entry forms and fees must be submitted to the local coordinator
on or before
the closing date. Late entries may not be accepted or will incur
additional costs.
Refunds and credit of examination fees will not be made. A
half-fee re-entry
permit will be issued to students who are able to supply a
medical certificate
within one week of their scheduled examination appointment.
Students entered for one session may not transfer to another
without payment
of the full examination fee.
Once examination appointments have been made it is usually not
possible to
change or rearrange times or to substitute appointments with
other students
without additional costs being levied.
By submitting an entry form with appropriate fees, it will be
understood that
these regulations have been read, understood and accepted.
Should all the above regulations be met, teachers are entitled
to deduct a 10%
commission from the total fees collected if their entry form
contains no fewer
than ten candidates and payment is made by one cheque or postal
order.

This syllabus has been designed to assist teachers and students
in bridging the gap between Preliminary and Grade 1 in the St.
Cecilia School of Music pianoforte examinations. This is a
performance examination where the student must aim to give a
polished, confident and above all, entertaining recital.
The pieces chosen for the syllabus have been included for their
entertainment value and for their opportunity to encourage
performance flair. A wide range of levels is therefore covered.
Students should choose pieces that they not only enjoy but which
may also challenge them. It is important that a balanced concert
programme is presented.
This syllabus will provide students with an enjoyable and
rewarding goal whilst they are also preparing for the Grade One
requirements. A certificate will be awarded to all successful
performers.

SECTION B: PROGRAMME NOTES (10 marks)
Musicians taking this Certificate must present a written
programme of the items to be performed. The programme should be
modelled on one which would be presented at a public concert or
recital. The programme should contain:
The name of the performer and a brief biographyThe date, time
and venue of the performanceThe items being presented, in
performance orderAny information about the piece(s) that will
interest the listener(this may include the history of the piece and
composer and details of the style).The background to the performers
decision to chose the piece(s).Any illustrations or pictures
relevant to the material in the programme.
The Programme must be presented to the examiner upon entering
the examination room. It may not be returned.
SECTION C: PRESENTATION (10 marks)
Presentation marks will be awarded for:
DressPosturePerformance conduct and stage etiquette

playing without music, are encouraged to do so. All music must be
brought to the examination, even if the performance is from
memory.

GRADES 1-8
St Cecilia Pianoforte Performance Syllabus
The following syllabus has been designed to provide a structured
course that will enable the student to develop his or her pianistic
skills, whilst choosing music from a wide selection of pieces that
should appeal to various personal tastes.
The candidate must play four items selected from four large
lists of works. These include a study (to Grade 6) and three other
pieces from different musical periods. While this syllabus is
classically based, pieces of jazz and blues styles are included
th stin the 20 /21 century section from Grades 1 to 5.
There are opportunities to play works by female composers - e.g.
Clara Schumann, Louise Farrenc and Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn's
sister).
Candidates may also play complete works and this becomes
mandatory in Grade 8, for Items 1 and 2, thus enabling the student
to experience the typical format of many professional recitals.
The pieces chosen must form an interesting programme - as if for
a concert.
It will be noted that, from Grade One to Five, several volumes
of collected pieces have been included in particular, the Classics
to Moderns series (ed. Denes Agay), and Essential Keyboard
Repertoire (Hinson).
Consequently, some pieces in these grades have been listed a
second time to indicate that they may also be found in these
inexpensive volumes. This may be useful, as certain books in this
series cover more than one grade level. Images (Joanne Maree) is an
example of an Australian publication that covers Preliminary to
Grade 4 levels.
The syllabus is an extension of the early grades of the St.
Cecilia examination system: Beginners, Junior and Preliminary.
Unlike these exams, however, the grades which follow have no ear
test, or musicianship sections; nor are there any sight-reading
tests. The focus is placed on musical performance, technical skill
and knowledge of the works presented, however, this does not imply
that aural and reading skills are insignificant or irrelevant to a
sound musical training - merely that they are not required in these
examinations.
It is impossible to give an exciting, or even a competent
performance without a solid technical foundation; therefore, the
technical work section has been carefully structured to ensure the
constant development of various skills and a sound knowledge of all
keys.
17
-
As in Beginner, Junior and Preliminary, dynamic contrasts will
be expected in all grades, even when they are not printed on the
music.
Speeds of scales and arpeggios gradually increase, dynamics are
added and, when the technique has strengthened, staccato and double
octaves are required.
Pianists should have an awareness of basic chord progressions;
these are included both for this reason and to provide a means of
learning correct pedalling of chords. Pedalling is an area of
technique which is often neglected: this is unfortunate as the
co-ordination of hands and feet does not come naturally to some
pianists and it therefore should be addressed early in their
training.
The final section of each examination - Programme Notes -
requires the student to be aware of certain aspects of their
pieces.
From Grades 1 to 4 this is directly related to the content of
the score and will consist of the familiar question and answer
format.
For the remaining grades, candidates are to present information
about one of their pieces, (candidate's choice) including an
analysis of the work and stylistic characteristics in relation to
the historical period in which it was written. The information is
to be presented orally, with reference to written notes of which
the examiner will be given a copy.
With this rather different approach to the General Knowledge
section of examinations, it is hoped that students will research
and then retain the relevant information, presenting it as it might
be found in the programme notes at a concert.
