Keyboard Skills Credit by Exam

• eNovation Piano provides free access only for students taking the Credit by Exam before the semester begins.
• All required video recordings (all parts for each level/class) must be submitted in the Canvas Site in the appropriate submission portal (please read carefully).
  • It's permissible to either upload multiple videos, or to combine all the elements into one video. If you choose to upload multiple videos, arrange them all in one playlist so that you can share the entire submission with one link.
• The video recording must clearly show the student’s hands, body, and the piano keyboard throughout the entire performance. Videos that do not meet these requirements will not be accepted.
• The video will be graded on accurate notes and rhythm, correct fingering, overall continuity, and maintaining a reasonable, musically appropriate tempo, not excessively slow or hesitant. 
• You must successfully complete every level in order to take the higher-level class.  For example, if you want to take PIAN 284, you must pass 144 and 148. If you pass both 144 and 148, then you can take PIAN 284 without spending two semesters taking PIAN 144 and PIAN 148.  You must pass every previous level class to continue into a higher-level class.
• Incomplete submissions (any missing videos or materials) will result in automatic disqualification for that attempt.
• Students are allowed a maximum of two opportunities to pass the Credit by Exam for each level/class.
• If both attempts are unsuccessful, the student must enroll in the class to receive credit.
• Submit your recordings as unlisted YouTube videos before the deadline.
