Placement test

If you have prior musical knowledge and experience, you can choose to take a placement test before starting the piano and music theory course.

This test is designed to measure the level of theoretical/practical mastery acquired, design a personalized work proposal, and determine the most appropriate material to start. If you wish to consult the contents and criteria of the levels, I invite you to visit the following link.

The placement test has three stages:

1. Asynchronous (music theory): through a self-assessment form, designed to evaluate the knowledge acquired, as well as analysis and hearing recognition skills.

2. Asynchronous (practical): which includes:

   . Sending an audio or video performing a work of the student's choice.

   . Sending an audio or video of an imposed work chosen by the teacher.

   . Sending a picture of a rhythmic and rhythmic-melodic dictation exercise from a sent audio.

   . Sending the score of an own musical composition, and an audio or video recording of your performance.

3. Synchronous (practical): which includes the following activities:

   . Rhythmic reading: prepared and first sight.

   . Melodic reading: prepared and first sight.

   . Performance: free piece, imposed piece, own composition.

   . Analysis and first sight performance.

After completing the test, you will receive the detailed test result with the recommended level to start the classes and a personalized program.

Regular tests

Regular students can choose to take a regular test after completing the activities proposed in each stage. This test includes the same stages as the placement test. After completing the test, you will receive the detailed result, an evaluation of the performance during the course, and recommendations to continue.

These tests are not mandatory and don't restrict continuity in the course. The intention of both the placement test and the regular tests is formative since it offers the students the possibility of testing their knowledge and skills, receiving corrections, self-correct themselves, having an overview of their strengths and weaknesses, receiving suggestions, and reflecting on the appropriate strategies to continue. This does not imply that there is no evaluative instance in each of the encounters. However, a formalized test can provide additional advantages and a greater depth in this process.

The current prices for the placement test and regular tests are:
