The following weaknesses were obvious among the candidates:

(1)        Candidates did not understand the concept of monotone and melody.
(2)        Candidates lack aural perception. 
(3)        Many of the candidates could not notate correctly and they wrongly wrote in solfa notation.
(4)        Chord identification constituted a major challenge for the candidates
(5)        Candidates found it difficult to differentiate between modulated and non-modulated phrase.

SUGGESTED REMEDY

In addressing the aforementioned weaknesses, it is necessary to:

1. subject candidates to thorough aural training before entering them for WASSCE.
2. give candidates sufficient training on melody and monotone.
3. expose candidates to rigorous notation training.
