8. What's next?
Here are some suggested next steps for you and your students.
- Refer our Quick Guide on the Performance Diplomas to help you and your students easily understand the information.
- If your student is interested in taking this further, please read the Qualification Specification.
- Visit the Teacher Hub with your student to watch some example performances and read some example written work. Try out marking them like an examiner to see if you've understood the criteria correctly. (Coming soon!)
- Download the repertoire lists for your instrument.
- More resources will be added to the Teacher Hub over the next few months, so please return to the Hub for more support with your preparation.
