The Real Reason Talented Teachers Fail the LRSM
You have successfully run your teaching studio for years. Your students pass exams, your parents are happy, and your practical instincts are sharp. But the ABRSM Licentiate Diploma (LRSM) in Music Teaching is an entirely different beast.
To pass this master-level qualification, you must submit a massive, multi-part portfolio divided into three core requirements:
Unit 1A (The Ten-Lesson Video Narrative & Commentary)
A continuous 45-minute edited compilation video documenting a real student's musical progression across 10 lessons, backed by a 3,000-word written analytical commentary explaining your longitudinal strategy.
Unit 1B (The Licentiate Written Submission)
An advanced academic folio consisting of five separate written tasks (four sophisticated essays selected from the official syllabus plus a deep personal reflection paper).
Unit 2 (The Advanced Viva Voce)
A live, high-pressure oral discussion where you defend your 10-week teaching arc, essay frameworks, and overall pedagogical philosophy directly with the examiners.
The biggest mistake you can make is treating these three tasks like separate assignments on a checklist. They are not.
🚨 The examiners grade your video, essays, and viva together as one single ecosystem.
If what you do in your lesson video does not perfectly match the logic in your written essays, your portfolio contradicts itself. During the live Viva Voce, the examiners will find that gap instantly. They will question you on your entire 10-week timeline—including the lessons you did not film—and use that exact disconnect to fail your submission.
You do not fail because you are a bad teacher. You fail because your portfolio components are fighting each other instead of working together under a single strategy.
