Practical Examination
Practical Examination for Precollege Program
Practical exams will be held at the end of every semester.
Each student is encouraged to take the practical exam after 4 terms of lessons. However, if the supervising teacher feels that the student is not ready, the practical exam can be postponed two terms later.
Students who have studied at other schools may propose a transfer of grades for music theory subjects by attaching a legalized transcript. The decision in this matter is entirely in the hands of the Conservatory.
Students are allowed to take two practical exams in one school year, if they get a recommendation from the academic department.
Students who take the exam must register and pay the exam fee at least 30 days before the exam. Students who are required to take exams (who will have completed 6 quarters of study time in one level) will be invoiced automatically in their last quarter’s Tuition Invoice.
