Musical performance assessments have had a long tradition. It has been suggested that formal music examinations, such as Graded examinations, are beneficial to students' musical learning in terms of increasing motivation, structuring learning, setting goals, providing challenges, and obtaining certification.{A0}This research aimed to explore the Graded instrumental examinations system in Hong Kong. A theoretical model inspired by Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory (1994), Activity Theory (Engestrom, 2001), and Creech's (2009) typology of parent-pupil-teacher triadic interactions was used to reflect and understand how Graded music examinations were perceived and experienced. The study employed a mixed methods approach in a progressively focused manner that embraced two sequential phases: N=182 questionnaire responses from instrumental teachers, parents, and pupils, and N=14 individual semi-structured interviews. Three cases were also chosen to study example interactions and views within a participant triad.{A0}Results suggest that stakeholders had different perceptions and levels of agreement about the values and functions of Graded examinations, such as the benefits, level of association with the Hong Kong education environment, and pedagogical approaches towards Graded examinations. Although participants generally advocated the taking of Graded examinations, they also recognized potentially unhealthy, unintended effects. Due to its highly competitive and achievement-based educational context, Hong Kong culture puts a huge emphasis on credentialization in educational attainment. Because of this, a number of social educational issues emerge, including a 'teaching for assessment' culture and examination-oriented learning. Extra-curricular activities are used for pupils to access 'top-rated' schools. Overall, the importance of certifications is overly emphasized. A double-edged effect was reported and contradictory attitudes were observed from participants concerning the advocacy of these examinations. This rise in popularity of Graded examinations, then, acted as a driving force for a further emphasis on achievement and certification, which in turn built a further achievement-based society, leading to a self-serving cycle.
