Piano Examination Questions

General Questions

I had a Grade 1 student who played Haydn as a Baroque selection, and we received a comment on the exam form about her Baroque choice. In selecting repertoire for exams, should we be selecting "style" or composers by date?
I'm having difficulty finding a Grade 3 Romantic selection for a student's performance examination; should I stretch the dates of a classical composer (e.g Beethoven) and include a piece that is leaning to the Romantic style, or do I stretch the style and include a piece by a 20th Century composer in the Romantic style.
One of my students has chosen a vocal duet for her "Additional" selection - it's a Broadway musical item that she and her friend did in our festival. Would it be okay for her to slip out for the 60 seconds it will take to put on the costume? She would announce the song first - the girls make their entrance as the music begins....
For the printed programs for performance exams, are candidates required to name the collection/source of the pieces performed? If yes, how do you show this in the printed program?
Can you give us a clue as to whether the rhythm clap-backs are presented as a rhythm only or as a melody?
My student is preparing for a Grade 4 Performance exam and is working on a "pop" study. Can she use this as her study piece or would it be best to save this for her encore?
Two of my students will be taking Performance exams during the same session. They are preparing a duet for the Festival - would it be appropriate for them to perform this duet (once) as the "additional" piece for BOTH their exams?
For the Transposition portion of the Musicianship exam will the student be expected to play only in the transposed key or will they be allowed to play in the written key first?
How do we source required repertoire for CNCM practical examinations?
What is meant by the additional piece?
Are arrangements allowed on recital exams?
