VCE Music repertoire performance

Principals/Directors, VCE coordinators and VCE Music repertoire performance teachers

The 2023-2027 Prescribed List of Instruments and Works is now available on the VCE Music repertoire performance webpage. Students must perform one work from this list in their examination. Please read the examination specifications together with the Prescribed List of Instruments and Works.

For most listed works, the cited editions are only recommended - equivalent editions may be used without seeking VCAA approval. Where a work is a specific arrangement or a transcription, it will have been generally published only in the cited edition. Schools are responsible for ensuring students include a listed work in their program for Units 3 and 4.

Students may present for this study on any instrument for which there is an established repertoire of notated works. Where there is no list published for an instrument, students may apply to the VCAA to have the instrument approved, along with one specific work to be treated as ‘the prescribed work’ for the examination. 

Action

Principals/Directors and VCE Music teachers are made aware that the instruments and works application form is available on the curriculum planning section of the VCAA website.  

Critical dates

Applications for the 2023-2027 Prescribed List of Instruments and Works close at 5pm on Thursday 29 February 2024.
