No, I didn't get an interview which was a bit of a shame :frown: I doubted that I would have got in this year even if I did get an interview but if a had of it would've have prepared me for next year (assuming I get an interview then :smile:

I have mine on Wednesday the 12th. I'm looking forward to it but it's pretty nerve wracking at the same time because it's such an impressive course. I have to do an audition too so with a bit of luck and prior knowledge in the interview it should be fine.

Anyone else have interviews in the next couple of months?

Mine's on the 12th too! I've just got the standard music and sound recording test. Haven't done music a level for a year though so trying to brush up on that...

I did my grade 5 back in November and passed that but I had to teach myself because I only did music tech at A Level which I kind of regret. But still I'm more than happy to play. I guess we'll be the first this year to see what it's like!

I found this page really useful:

http://iosr.surrey.ac.uk/tonmeister/faqs.phphttp://iosr.surrey.ac.uk/tonmeister/faqs.php

"The test will last about 30 minutes and will help us to evaluate:

your ability to notate music: notate a 4-bar melody which will be played to you (first bar already notated for you);
your repertoire and analysis skills: comment on three short extracts of recorded western music in terms of style, period, instrumentation, compositional techniques, etc.; and
your harmony skills: either harmonise a short melody, identify harmonic features in a short score extract or realise a chord progression in standard notation."

Good luck! :smile:

How did your interviews go?

+Do you have to do any kind of music test if you have grade 5 theory, grade 7 practical and music tech, but not music?

I have an interview for this year, those of you who got in, what kind of things do they ask in the music tech test? I didnt do music tech at school/college so my knowledge is only based around practical experience i have!
