The document discusses preparing for the viva voce, which is an oral examination where a music student must discuss their composition with an examiner. The student should be able to explain the purpose of the viva voce, recognize the elements of the process, and participate in mock viva voce sessions. During the viva voce, the student must be prepared to discuss the inspiration for their composition, key features like genre and form, their developmental steps, and any challenges faced with solutions. Teachers should help students prepare by conducting mock viva voce exercises and allowing students to interview each other.
