RSL Awards Group Performance from RSL Awards exemplifies our commitment to providing innovative assessment solutions whilst supporting both access and enjoyability of creative arts education.
The flexible approach to group assessment from Entry Level to Level 3 in Music or Movement and Dance enhances our already pioneering Graded Exam offering. These Group Performance qualifications are designed to champion a range of performers and the communities they represent, including members of a wide-variety of different backgrounds, cultures and orientations.
RSL Group Performance is an unregulated qualification suite recognising group performance in either Music or Movement and Dance. These qualifications promote performance and communication skills and facilitate the assessment of any style, genre or ensemble.
Performers can be assessed as a collective (ensembles of any size) or individually as part of a group (groups of up to 12 candidates). At Entry Levels (Music only), candidates are individually graded for their participation in group collaboration via internal teacher assessment.
There are absolutely no limits on the materials to be performed as part of a Group Performance assessment. Flexibility means that candidates can enjoy the benefit of selecting repertoire from their favourite bands, artists, choreographers, or even perform their own compositions and choreography.
The adaptability of these qualifications means they can be used in a plethora of different settings and for an assortment of ensembles. Removing barriers to achievement means Group Performance assessment prioritises social mobility, giving learners the ability to be assessed for their performances without the need for adaptations or reasonable adjustments.
Entry Level Group Performance in Music is available at Entry Level 1, 2 & 3, and is entirely assessed through tutor observation. These observations are based on an individual's participation in group activities through their lessons, rehearsals and performances. At Entry Level 1 the focus is primarily on the learner’s enjoyment and developing their confidence in participating in a music group.
There are two types of certificate available at Levels 1–3 Group Performance in Music or Movement and Dance. Ensembles of any size can be assessed collectively, or, learners can be assessed individually as part of their group performance.
