Do music exams make you nervous? If so, you're not alone. But for our younger readers, there is a great new pain-free entry into doing piano exams called P Plate Piano.
The AMEB have introduced their very first full colour publication, which is a series of three books for students who have worked through a piano beginners' book or two.
When you can play three of the pieces in a P Plate Piano book well, you can enrol to take your P Plate exam. You don't need to study scales or undertake general knowledge or aural or sight-reading training, because the exam is meant as a gentle pleasant first experience and has no other requirements than the playing of three pieces.
Performances are assessed, but not graded and everyone receives a report and a participation certificate. And when you do the P Plate Three exam, you are awarded your very own licence to play, just like the P Plate your older brothers and sisters get when they pass their driving test.
Your piano teacher can provide you with further information.
Who said music exams have to be scary?
