The ABRSM sign-up for Feb/March 2009 practical exams are currently ongoing. I have already signed up for the students in my studio. :)
Technically, parents can sign their children up for exams. However, as a responsible teacher, I strongly prefer to personally sign my students up for exams, personally handle the dates, issues if any etc, so that I fully understand/know/keep track of the timeline/situation for each student, and therefore I can easily plan appropriately for each student, working together with the student towards the exam goal. Usually, a group of students would sit for exams at the same place, on the same date, and at about the same time because the teacher will sign them up as a group. After the exam, a student will usually tell me that he/she saw this other student(s) from my studio who was also there to take his/her exam. I believe that it is comforting for the students when they see other students from my studio also taking exams. Perhaps it's a feeling of positive comradirie, which is nice. :) In addition, the teacher can easily remember and keep track of the student's progress through the years. :)
I take immense pride in, and I believe that I am very responsible in presenting my students for their exams. I will always notify/call the parents/students on the day when I get notices/results for exams because I believe that it is very important to do so. Also, I am always super-excited when I receive the results/certificates in my mail. I would read the exam comments several times to prepare in order to help my students understand them the next lesson, so that the comments and exams are helpful for them. :) In the July-September 2008 exam season, students did very well, and all of them passed. :) Good job to my students! :) Happy Sherina :)
