Common mistakes to avoid when recording an ABRSM video exam
When recording an ABRSM video exam, here are some common mistakes to avoid:
- Missing or incomplete pre-performance introduction: Ensure that you include all required elements in the introduction, such as showing the music for the fourth piece or the candidate's photo ID.
- Copyright infringement: Use legal copies of the music and avoid using photocopies in your video to avoid copyright issues.
- Editing the performance section: It is important to note that edits to the performance section of the video are not allowed. The performance should be captured in one continuous take.

- Not following the guidelines: Carefully read and follow the guidelines provided by ABRSM for the video recording exam. Failure to adhere to the guidelines may result in disqualification or a lower score.
- Not keeping a backup of the recording: It is advisable to keep a backup copy of your recorded performance in case of any technical issues or submission errors.
- Not checking for technical issues: Before submitting your recording, review it to ensure there are no technical issues or mistakes. Double-check for any audio or video glitches that may affect the overall quality.
By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure a smooth and successful recording for your ABRSM video exam.
