Repeats are not to be included for examinations, unless specifically stated for a particular repertoire selection in the Celebration Series. Da Capo is to be included as part of the performance.

As a general rule, first endings can be omitted. However, when the piece is shorter, and when the first ending contains substantial material which is significant to the flow and architecture of the piece, the first ending may be included.
