ABRSM diploma question

[thorn]

can someone tell me if you need to take photocopies to your exam even if you've memorised the pieces or can you just give the examiners the actual copy?

[franzliszt2]

I give them a set of books. I happened to have spare copies of all my pieces

[thorn]

so they dont specifically need photocopies, just a copy of the music to follow?

[elevateme_returns]

just a copy. can be originals. if youve got pencil markings in them, i would rub them out - otherwise theyre going to notice if you dont do something you want to do.

[thorn]

yeah i was considering doing that anyway

thanks both

I thought you weren't allowed to make photocopies, especially not of their own books  Make sure you don't violate copyright laws if you do use copies.

[franzliszt2]

If you email the publishers requesting permission you can. You also can if you have a solid copy with you and destroy the photocopy after

And how long will the publisher take to reply?

[franzliszt2]

I dunno. I was naughty I faked it. I just told them I had permission. They didn't ask for any proof
