    In 2009 I did my practical, only had sheet music I had written myself.

    I was playing drums, so it's not like I was scrawling down Tchaikovsky or anything, it was all stuff I had put together anyway, played along to popular songs.

    Yeah, i knew drums was different. a friend of mine is doing drums and is quite confused too. Did you write down the notation of everything you were playing or just the phrasing or what? and what kinda grade did you get in music?

    Yeah I wrote out what I planned to play, but in the way drums would normally be written, so repeat marks etc. instead of exact notation. In terms of another instrument I would say it's the equivalent of having it written note for note. I supplied the lyrics along with chords for the singers/other instruments. I got an A2, but I was usually a B in written components in class so I assume I did very well in the practical.

    Do we need to supply the examiner with sheet music of what we're playing?

    You don't need to supply sheet music anymore, I'm 100% sure about this, I'm a music teacher ;)
