BOTH AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL
A MESSAGE FROM THE MUSIC COMMITTEE
Over the years, with the addition of many new classes, the syllabus has
become rather difficult to navigate. This year we have reorganised and
renumbered the syllabus. We have brought similar classes together and
generally made the syllabus more logical. We hope you find all of your
favourite classes and discover some you have not thought about
entering before. The next two pages are an index of the classes with
their new numbers.
