Teachers who have passed Level 1 on the Violin may start the Viola course at Level 2. An audition which includes playing the Book 1 Viola pieces is required and can be done by video. b. Teachers who have passed any of the levels from Level 2 - 5 on the Violin may follow a shorter Viola Teacher Training Conversion Course - approximately one week. This course covers Repertoire and Teaching Points for the appropriate levels but does not repeat those aspects of Teacher Training which have already been covered in the Violin course. c. Teachers are only eligible to take Viola Conversion Courses up to the Level which they have already passed on Violin. d. All candidates who wish to take the Conversion Course and the subsequent Viola Examination must submit a video of their own performance. The performance should consist of all Viola repertoire played from memory, below and including the level at which the candidate wishes to take the Conversion Course and Examination. This video must be submitted prior to the Course. e. Examinations for candidates who already have Violin qualifications will be conducted in the same way as normal examinations. At Levels 3, 4 and 5 the examination should, wherever possible, include the teaching of children at the appropriate levels.
