These exams are on the same standard as external examinations, but these exams are specifically for those who cannot afford an external examination at R500 – R1500 per exam, but still want to progress and receive a certificate. One of the other teachers at the school will be the examiner, not the student’s weekly teacher. The motivation for this is to create a similar atmosphere as the external examinations where the students only get examined on their performance for that day. All teachers are human, and evaluating their own student will be mostly subjective, they will take their student’s yearly progress into account and not just that days performance. These examinations will not take place in their normal lesson time, but on another day.

Because the concerts work with a strict budget, we must have some indication of income, therefore we ask each student who participates at the concerts to sell a minimum of 3 tickets. When there is more than one student in a family who partake in the concerts, we do not expect the family to sell a minimum of 6 tickets, but only 4. Please note that any student is welcome to sell more than the minimum amount of tickets.

Because there is no other rhythm guitar syllabus that you can follow, we decided to put together our own. We found that there is a great need among guitar students to be able to play the chords and to be part of the “Praise & Worship Band” at the church or want to sit around the campfire and make music. This syllabus does not only consist of songs, but it also includes all the chords, technique, theory, scales, aural development & a bigger appreciation for music, like any external examination.

This serves as a handbook for the Rockschool external examination as well as the internal examinations.

In the second and fourth terms, we offer recitals on weeknights, taking the form of an informal house concert with a maximum of 10 students per session. Students are given the opportunity to perform a song in front of a small audience consisting of their families and peers. These small concerts are an ideal opportunity for first-time performers and students who do not yet feel comfortable with the large stage. It also provides an opportunity for more experienced students to try something new, such as testing out a new song or different genre of music.

There are no fixed fees involved in participation or attendance of recitals. Families are only requested to bring some refreshments.

For this Show, every student who is interested goes into studio once during the period of January and February to record a song. We also make a video recording of the experience and, should the parents and students permit, it will be added to our YouTube and Facebook pages. At the actual concert in March, the student performs their song on stage. (Note: It is not the recording that will be played, but the student performing live.)

There are costs involved for the studio recording. Pricelist is available on request. Part of the concert ticket fees goes to a charity.

For most students, the Band Show is the highlight of their year. We make use of session musicians to form the band, and then the participating student replaces the relevant band member for their song. The main aim of this concert is to provide students with a chance to work with other musicians. Most students want to perform with a rock band, but for those who prefer to do a more classical song, we assemble a small chamber orchestra with at least two other instruments (e.g. flute, piano, violin, cello, saxophone, etc.) The band members are naturally paid for their work; therefore, there are fees involved in performing with the band. Pricelist is available on request.
