    You'll be marked easier if you do 4&4. So that all comes down to whether you think you'd be better at sibelius or singing.

    Of Singing, Instrument + Music Technology, which are your best 2? Or, which of singing/instrument are you better at for 6 pieces?

    I did 4 instrument 4 singing because I was already doing violin lessons and I was already in the choir (did singing in a group), so it was no extra hassle. Music technology looks to be really easy, so if I wasn't already spending hours a week on the choir I would definitely have done that instead.

    To be honest, most people in my class think the Music Technology is a bit of a joke. It's that easy. You know exactly what you're inputting, exactly what edits you're making, and a lot of the time the examiner will stop you before you're done if they can see you know what you're at. It's about 5-10 minutes simple computer work. It really doesn't compare with 4 whole songs in my opinion.
    Apparently, the actual software is very expensive though. My teacher gave us a disk (ssshhh) to pass around and install on out own computers but it doesn't work on Vista :mad:.
