SUMMARY:Solo Instrumental - [Section 15] String Solo
DESCRIPTION:Event Name: String Solo\nLocation: Southern Cross Catholic College Burwood – Recording Studio\nSection Number: 15 \nGrade Information:\nPlease be advised these sections are based first on grade\, then age.

The Eisteddfod Team will endeavour to group similar ages together where possible. \nEisteddfod grades are based upon grade levels of the Australian Music Examinations Board (A.M.E.B.) Performers may select their grade level from Grade 1 – Grade 8. When selecting your Grade (if you do not play traditional grade exams)\, it can often be found on the music or you can search online for the difficulty of the piece. If you are having trouble determining the Grade of the music\, please feel free to contact the Eisteddfod Team for assistance. \nSection Guidelines:\nTime limits must not exceed stipulated section time limits:\nGrade 1-4: 3 mins\nGrade 5-8: 5 mins\nPerformance will be stopped at 1 minute after time. \n1 piece or 1 movement from a piece only to be performed. \nFor ALL instrumental sections\, an accompaniment (live or recorded) MUST be provided\, unless the piece was written intentionally to be performed unaccompanied. \nAccompaniment may be provided by a backing track or by a live accompanist.
