St. Cecilia Music Examinations
St. Cecilia Music Examinations was established in 1974 by music teachers and performers
who recognised the need for a new approach to the examining of music students.
Our examinations have been carefully designed to provide developing musicians of all
ages and stages with an assessment which examines performance and technical skills
whilst ensuring an enjoyable and valuable learning experience.
Each examination follows naturally to the next stage of development and for this reason
we advise that grades not be missed or skipped. We are endeavouring to provide students
with a positive examination experience as well as an accurate and fair assessment of their
skills.
Students who demonstrate that they know the requirements and who perform accurately
and confidently will always be successful. It is essential that teachers ensure that all
students who enter for our examinations are therefore thoroughly prepared. Students
who go beyond a technically accurate performance and who demonstrate sincere artistry
and musicianship will naturally achieve higher results.
All our syllabuses draw from the latest repertoire and are designed to suit varying styles
and tastes without compromising the need to master the fundamental requirements.
The technical requirements are developmental and are designed to give students a sound
and secure technique. A strong technique allows for more opportunity to approach a
broader repertoire.
We are confident that you will enjoy working with this syllabus and consequently
experience the many benefits and rewards associated with it.

Notes on the Woodwind Syllabus
This syllabus has been designed to provide a structured course enabling the student to
develop all the skills associated with performing a wind instrument whilst choosing music
from a wide selection of interesting pieces and publications.
In the Beginner, Junior and Preliminary levels, three pieces chosen from the item listings are
required as well as technical work, ear-tests and general knowledge. Items do not need to
be accompanied at these three levels.
Through Grades 1- 8 the candidate must play four pieces from the item listings. Three of the
four pieces must be accompanied. A large selection is available.
The graded examinations focus principally on music performance and technique as well as
an understanding of the background of the chosen pieces and composers. Ear tests and
sight-reading are not included but instead are encouraged to be taken as a separate
examination.
The technical requirements have been structured to ensure a logical and sensible
development. Scales and arpeggios are included in various forms and represent all practical
keys. The emphasis is on even, confident and accurate playing.
As with all St. Cecilia examinations every detail on the score must be adhered to. Dynamics,
phrasing, articulation and performance instructions enhance the final product and will be
carefully assessed.
The “Programme Notes” section of the examination is vitally important. Up to and including
Grade 4, examiners will ask general theoretical questions about any of the chosen pieces.
From Grade 5 onwards a written account and discussion of one piece must be given.
Students who successfully complete the St. Cecilia Theory of Music examinations at the
same grade level may be exempted from this section.
Students who wish to prepare an entirely performance-based examination may choose the
Concert Certificate examination option. Explanatory notes as well as syllabus requirements
are detailed in this syllabus.
Whilst we endeavor to ensure the availability and accuracy of the publications listed in this
syllabus we are aware that this may not always be possible. Teachers and students are
encouraged to report any discrepancies which they may experience.

Concert Certificate Examinations
St. Cecilia’s Concert Certificate examinations are available for all instruments and voice at all
levels i.e. Beginner through to Grade 8. These examinations provide students with the
opportunity to prepare and present an interesting programme in a formal concert-style
environment.
An audience may be present but the hiring of venues including conditions of hire i.e.
insurance, cleaning etc remains the responsibility of the teacher or candidate.
EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS:
· Items should be chosen from the current St. Cecilia syllabus e.g. for Concert
Certificate Four, items must be chosen from anywhere within the St. Cecilia
Grade Four syllabus. Alternative pieces may be presented with prior approval.
Concert Certificate examinations must fit into the following time limits. If necessary,
repeats should be played. It is acceptable to include more than one song within an
item e.g. combining two songs of similar character, title, text or by the same
composer.
Beginner, Junior Concert Certificate - 2 to 10 minutes
Preliminary Concert Certificate - 3 to 10 minutes
Concert Certificate 1 - 5 to 10 minutes
Concert Certificate 2 - 6 to 10 minutes
Concert Certificate 3 - 7 to 10 minutes
Concert Certificate 4 - 9 to 12 minutes
Concert Certificate 5 - 10 to 15 minutes
Concert Certificate 6 - 12 to 18 minutes
Concert Certificate 7 - 14 to 20 minutes
Concert Certificate 8 - 16 to 22 minutes
5
CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT & HINTS TO PERFORMERS
· Accompanied items. At least three of the four items must be accompanied for
instruments where the chosen music includes a written accompaniment. These
instruments are typically strings, woodwind, brass and singing. One song may be
unaccompanied. The accompanying instrument may not necessarily be restricted
to piano. (e.g. guitar or small ensemble may accompany if appropriate) Backing
tracks are not acceptable.
6
Recital Certificate Examinations
St. Cecilia’s First Recital Certificate and Advanced Recital Certificate examinations are
available for all instruments and voice. The Recital Certificate allows students to present a
full recital in a formal environment. Additional time is allocated for this examination
allowing the student greater flexibility with programme choice.
An audience may be present but the hiring of venues including conditions of hire i.e.
insurance, cleaning etc remains the responsibility of the teacher or candidate.
EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS:
· Four items must be presented which reflect an interesting and balanced programme.
A particular theme may be incorporated e.g. music of one composer; a reflection of
a scene or mood; music from a particular country or culture. Imagination is
encouraged.
· Items may be chosen from any recognized examination board syllabus but at least
one item must be chosen from the St. Cecilia Grade syllabus. For the First Recital
Certificate one item must be from the St. Cecilia Grade Five syllabus. For the
Advanced Recital Certificate one item must be chosen from the St. Cecilia Grade
Eight syllabus.
· Appropriate formal concert dress and accepted stage presentation and etiquette
(bowing, audience acknowledgement etc) are also assessed. School uniform is
usually not considered appropriate.
· It is acceptable to include more than one song within an item e.g. combining two
songs of similar character, title, text or by the same composer. If artistically
appropriate, repeats may be observed.
7
CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT & HINTS TO PERFORMERS
· The manner of dress. As for a public performance. Performers who do not dress
formally must accept their low assessment in this area. Attention to footwear should
be considered. School uniforms are not usually considered appropriate. It is better to
be over-dressed rather than under-dressed.
· Page turners & stage managers. Performers are ultimately responsible for their
entire performance including page turning and equipment usage. A stage manager
and/or page tuner (who may be the teacher or parent) may assist in a professional
and discreet manner. They must not address the examiner or audience. Stage
managers and page tuners should be attired appropriately.
· Accompanied items. At least three of the four items must be accompanied for
instruments where the chosen music includes a written accompaniment. These instruments
are typically strings, woodwind, brass and singing. The accompanying instrument may not
necessarily be restricted to piano. ( e.g. guitar or small ensemble may accompany if
appropriate) Backing tracks are not acceptable.
