How are pieces chosen for encore? (1 Viewer)

I know that examiners have to nominate pieces for encore, but does anyone know how they select from the nominations? I mean, there's no video recording of the performances, so how would they choose?

When you receive a nomination, you're asked to record the piece or pieces you were nominated for. Then you get picked from that.

Heh.

thanks

has anyone listened to last years cd. I heard it today just after my performance and almost fell over!

also the examiners tape record every performance for encore nominations and disputes.

 

[bonnie04]

yeah last years encore was fairly good.

oh and i wasn't aware they taped every performance?

when is the nomination on ?

 

[bonnie04]

they would nominate pieces throughout last week and this week during the examination period.

does anyone have any idea when they would let you know if you were nominated?

I think notification comes to the SCHOOL (not to the person)
within 3 weeks.
That's what happened at my school for two of our music students.

Exactly how prestigious is Encore? Is the receipt of an invitation to it something that should be flaunted ostentatiously on a resume or application form, or very much a "bah, humbug!" type of thing?

i heard from my teacher that the notification is sent to the students. that's what happened at my school last year and the years before.

well.. its a bit confusing isnt it ? :mad1:

Oh really?
Well maybe they're different for different schools, I doubt it- but I remember when my headmaster go the letters- we had two for music nominations and one for dance, and he opened the letter at assembly/concert practice one day.
