Didnt know they had introduced examinations - and I teach flute for comhlatas.There's always been the fleadhs of course, which have a strong competitive theme. Anyway, I'm not a member of comhaltas, and to be honest I'd become completely tired of irish instrumental music until someone asked me to teach.But I find the kids enjoy competing at the fleadhs and it gives them motivation, and their enthusiasm has reawakened mine.I dont find there's a house style or any attempt to direct what I teach.
