What does the candidate need to prepare?

This qualification has two components: Unit 1: Music Education in Practice and Unit 2: Reflective Practice and Professional Values. 

• Unit 1: One written submission is required, approximately 10,000 words in length (±10%). Submit a detailed description of the work you intend to undertake for ABRSM to provide feedback on. Do not embark on the work until you have received feedback on this initial submission.
