Simulation and Assessment of Traditional Live Examinations
With technological advancements and the recent years of the pandemic, the format of music exams has undergone changes, leading to the rise and even dominance of recording-based digital assessments. However, our conservatory firmly believes that students who have grown through the traditional live exams have developed more comprehensive skills and musical foundations. Despite the higher difficulty level in terms of exam format, there are students who choose to be assessed in this manner because they decide to pursue a more well-rounded music training and artistic cultivation, considering the certificate as secondary. Wang Kit Extraordinary Piano Conservatory provides simulated exams and guidance on exam etiquette, and professional advice can undoubtedly help students excel in foundational training and artistic sensibility, ultimately achieving outstanding results.
Analysis and Evaluation of Digital Exam Recordings
In recent years, the pandemic has made recording-based digital assessments the prevailing mode of evaluation. This format has prompted individuals to dedicate their time and effort to consistent practice to meet the criteria for a Pass, Merit, or Distinction for their video submissions. Although the exam seems to be straightforward, many students encounter challenges in mastering the techniques required to attain high scores. The exam fees are quite costly as well, often exceeding a thousand dollars. In the unfortunate event of an unsuccessful attempt, the loss extends beyond financial implications to the valuable time invested.
In response to these challenges, we have introduced a dedicated "Recording Evaluation" service for candidates. Our primary goal is to support students in assessing their progress in music learning and analyzing the potential of their recordings to meet the desired outcomes. The academy will provide comprehensive feedback, offering targeted and immediately applicable solutions. This enables students to make informed choices within limited time frames and address fundamental issues, ultimately improving their performance and resolving any concerns during critical moments.
Wang Kit Extraordinary Piano Conservatory is well-equipped to address your concerns and provide professional advice and analysis in the following areas:
1. Video Requirements: We can guide you on the specific elements needed to successfully pass the exam through your video submission.
2. Enhancing Scores: In addition to smooth performance, accurate rhythm, and appropriate dynamics, we can assist you in understanding the standards and techniques that can further improve your scores.
3. Musical Interpretation: We can provide guidance on how to meet the requirements of the musical piece and achieve the desired standards in your own interpretation, ensuring a compelling and expressive performance.
4. Third-Party Assistance: We can advise you on the possibility of seeking third-party assistance and guide you on the appropriate avenues to explore in order to enhance your preparation and performance.

By addressing these aspects, we aim to refine students' overall presentation and maximize their scoring potential.
Through the professional advice provided by our Conservatory and the thorough quality assessment of their performances, students can expect significant progress in their exam results. We are committed to supporting students in all aspects of their exam preparation and helping them achieve their musical goals with excellence.
Solo Recitals or Chamber Music Concerts
The Conservatory's Founder, Pun, curates and organizes personal recitals and chamber music concerts at irregular intervals throughout each season. These special events serve as platforms for Pun to share his recommended solo and chamber music pieces and personally perform them. This unique opportunity allows students to directly absorb invaluable musical insights and techniques from a seasoned performer.
Furthermore, Pun assumes the role of a spiritual leader in students' musical journeys, serving as a role model and source of inspiration. His performances and presence inspire students to strive for excellence and reach their full potential in their own musical endeavors.
In addition to the individual growth and development, these events also aim to bring students together, fostering unity and creating a sense of community within the Conservatory. By gathering students through these concerts, the Conservatory cultivates an environment that enhances motivation and passion for music learning. It encourages students to continue pursuing their musical ideals and aspirations with renewed enthusiasm and dedication.
