Teacher's Examination in summary:

• There is a need for a succession of able teachers of sinus tone-production if the work is to be effectively continued. Each member who has the necessary talent and interest should give earnest consideration to the possibility of being qualified. This would entail a period of training under one of the already qualified teachers. The written work will consist of 4 modules. The practical examination will take place a year after the modules are completed. There is no strict time limit for the completion of the modules. A high standard is expected, but this should not present any serious difficulty to a student who is genuinely interested and has made satisfactory progress in his or her own sinus tone practice.

• The following extract from the regulations and syllabus indicates the scope of the written examination. Arrangements for the practical test are made individually with candidates who have passed the written paper. 

Extract from Regulations:

To pass, a candidate must show a thorough acquaintance with the work of Ernest G White and have read "Science and Singing" and "Sinus Tone Production". Also, any subsequent statements on sinus tone approved by the Council, including "Think Afresh About the Voice" by A. D. Hewlett, with special reference to the following syllabus.
