Exam Components
Examination levels
The performance skill expected at this level is of an essentially elementary nature. Only basic transition, scratching and beat juggling techniques are required. Tracks are expected to be kept in sync by ear using the jog wheels, but candidates are not asked to match bpms by ear. Understanding and awareness of balancing, structure, track selection, harmony and narrative is required to a small extent. The scratching and beat juggling techniques in Component 1 are limited to the least demanding examples.
Debut
Candidates should be able to:
• demonstrate basic knowledge of equipment functions, setting up and signal flow and music formats
• discuss elements of their prepared performance such as their favorite track, awareness of the chosen genre, the mood and character of the tracks selected and reasons behind track choices and transitions
