Here is some advice for you Consistency - in lesson attendance and PRACTISE Consistent attendance to lessons plays a key role in exam success, as does regular and structured practice between lessons. At least 2 months prior to your exam, you should be practising towards your singing exam for at least 10 minutes per day. (More for the higher grades.) That includes warming up your voice & developing your ability to sing your songs all the way through fluently without mistakes. If you have any supplementary tests/spoken introductions/technical exercises/discussion questions to prepare, these must be practised too. Memorisation & Performance It is always better for singers to perform their songs from memory, as it helps to communicate the story in the song to the examiner. (Most exam boards require songs to be from memory.) As the exam draws closer, you should include work on your stage presence, gesture, emotion and facial expressions, when you are practising your exam songs at home/between lessons. The songs are a performance, so singers must understand what they are singing about and convey their emotional response(s) to the songs when singing them. NO CRAMMING!! It is important for you to build your vocal stamina gradually. It is much better to practise singing in short segments each day, than to try and cram in 2 hours of practise all on 1 day. I advise you against cramming. Don't leave all your singing exam practise to the week before your exam. You are likely to lose your voice that way! The more you practise at the beginning of the exam learning period, the better prepared you will be. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SINGING EXAM!
