Relative recognition

Imperial examination is very famous overseas, and it is recognized in the field of music education because of its professional and systematic arrangement.

Imperial examination can be used as a bonus for students to enter overseas universities, which greatly increases their admission opportunities and even allows them to apply for scholarships for music majors, while domestic examinations are not applicable to overseas universities.

Relative balance

Compared with domestic exams, the difficulty of the imperial examinations is relatively simple, and the proportion of each score is relatively balanced. Music is no longer the focus of the exam, because the overall improvement of music literacy is more worthy of attention.

Relatively comprehensive

Compared with other exams in China, besides preparing three elective courses of music and scale arpeggio, listening test and sight-reading test are also compulsory.

In addition, the music theory exam is also an obstacle. The music theory test, like the performance test, has eight grades. The emperor level examination requires that the prerequisite for entering the performance examination above level 6 (including level 6) is that the music theory has passed level 5; To apply for Grade 8 or above (including professional performance level), you must first pass Grade 6 in Music Theory.
