Perform two substantial pieces of music as a featured soloist
This standard asks you to perform two separate pieces of music as the main soloist in front of an audience. The pieces need to be substantial—meaning they're complex enough and long enough to show real musical skill—and you need to demonstrate that you've been playing at a serious level for several years. Your teacher will judge how well you perform each piece, looking at your technique, musicality, and stage presence overall.
You perform both pieces as a soloist with reliable technique and appropriate style, confidently presenting them to an audience.
You perform both pieces effectively, showing technical security, stylistically correct interpretation, and confident communication that engages the audience.
You perform both pieces convincingly, demonstrating assured, musically expressive playing with clear interpretive understanding and confident presentation to the audience.
