Lambda encourages students to participate in as many performance opportunities as possible to ensure that steady progress is maintained. As training for official examinations systems such as the RCM Examinations, Lambda supports its students by offering them internal performance evaluations / auditions.

Lambda Internal Audition / Evaluation 2012  (for piano, violin, guitar and voice)

Lambda students will progress from one level to the next in a systematic and methodical manner. Progress will be evaluated through an internal achievement audition /evaluation conducted in a professional, objective yet friendly manner to ensure that students have attained a level of proficiency before proceeding to the next level.

The basis of evaluation for the Lambda Internal Audition / Evaluation is recognition of personal achievement rather than comparison with others. Critiques can also serve as useful guidelines for students in their practice.

Upon successful completion of the Lambda audition and evaluation process, students will be recommended to participate in internationally recognized examination systems, such as RCM Examinations.

The Lambda Internal Audition / Evaluation system is divided into various levels. With the successful completion of each level, students may be awarded certificates of accomplishment.
