The Piano Proficiency Examination is a practical examination to measure the extent to which students have mastered skills necessary for successful music teaching. Piano proficiency must be completed before beginning apprentice teaching. Music education majors must be able to play accompaniments to instrumental and choral music from collections of intermediate difficulty used in public schools.
