What are the benefits of Piano Exams

When you have something to work for, you work a lot harder. You make a commitment to yourself. You practise because you have set an objective.
I found a Royal Conservatory of Music handout at a piano store that described the benefits of piano exams for the "triangle" of Student, Teacher and Parent.

To Students
  • motivation
  • commitment to practise
  • performance experience
  • pride of accomplishment
  • high school credits
  • certificates and awards
  • personal growth

To the Teacher
  • an excellent curriculum
  • high pedagogical standards
  • wide choice of repertoire and study pieces at level
  • standardized assessment of student's achievements

To parents
  • a balanced course of study
  • a high standard of evaluation
  • internationally recognized certificates
  • valuable experience for the children
  • development of self discipline
  • objective assessment of child's accomplishment
