After\u00a0<strong>more than 60 of our\u00a0<\/strong>students were\u00a0<strong>evaluated by the ABRSM commission\u00a0<\/strong>, our professors already\u00a0<strong>have an insight into the standards of evaluation of this method\u00a0<\/strong>, and they apply that knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are grades not important, and knowledge tests are?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We often say that the&nbsp;<strong>unofficial motto of our school&nbsp;<\/strong>is that&nbsp;<strong>every student may not be able to play the best, but he can play the best he can&nbsp;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In accordance with it,&nbsp;<strong>we advise students that grades do not matter&nbsp;<\/strong>. With the good work of our professors, the motivation they get, their work at home, as well as regular public appearances, the&nbsp;<strong>pass rate of our students on the ABRSM exams is 100%&nbsp;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But,&nbsp;<strong>thanks to the feedback&nbsp;<\/strong>in the middle of the school year,&nbsp;<strong>everyone got the opportunity to decide whether or not they want to invest extra effort at home&nbsp;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone&nbsp;<strong>who cares about better results&nbsp;<\/strong>than those who achieve with current work at home, we always say that&nbsp;<strong>a higher level of art requires great dedication and work&nbsp;<\/strong>and that without them there is no way to get the highest grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the benefits of testing knowledge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the knowledge tests,&nbsp;<strong>we get a performance practice that is assessed&nbsp;<\/strong>and that differs from the performance for the audience. When&nbsp;<strong>students perform at concerts, they play one or two compositions<\/strong>, and in addition to playing, the focus is on the joy that the concert brings, as well as socializing with peers and the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the knowledge tests,&nbsp;<\/strong>as well as on the exam itself, students&nbsp;<strong>must work on longer focus, concentration, musical flow, and also on the mental strength&nbsp;<\/strong>they need to recover&nbsp;<strong>after a possible mistake&nbsp;<\/strong>, which in this case has more weight because mistakes affect on the outcome of the exam and grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>they pass the exam procedure several times in controlled conditions in the&nbsp;<\/strong>knowledge tests ,&nbsp;<strong>they will be able to better focus their strength and concentration&nbsp;<\/strong>on their playing instead of on unknown circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to this approach,&nbsp;<strong>we have gained the great trust of the parents of our students&nbsp;<\/strong>who know that they will&nbsp;<strong>receive the right information at any time&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 both&nbsp;<strong>praise and criticism that are necessary when it comes to progress&nbsp;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">addition,&nbsp;<strong>they know that working with their children is comprehensive&nbsp;<\/strong>and without fear&nbsp;<strong>leave us the initiative to prepare for the exam&nbsp;<\/strong>, and the&nbsp;<strong>internationally recognized ABRSM diploma&nbsp;<\/strong>they receive at the end of each school year is&nbsp;<strong>an additional guarantee of knowledge acquired at the First Private International Music School \u201cEva Music\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do we have regular knowledge tests at the International Private Music School \u201cEva Music\u201d for students who are preparing for the internationally recognized ABRSM exams?
