Outcome

Candidates will work with a partner on all exercises sung literature.  

Outcome
Throughout the exam, the candidate will perform musically and accurately without pauses, uncertainty, or hesitations. The candidate will use arm beat patterns with each exercise while the body remains poised and balanced so that the voice can demonstrate dynamic and agogic nuance, and rhythmic accuracy.

Description
The development of keyboard musicianship skills for improvising music teaching eurhythmics in the keys of Doh, Sol, Ré, La Mi, Fa, Si flat, Mi, flat, and La flat major.

While performing, the candidate will demonstrate metric integrity, rhythmic accuracy, coherent phrase structure, clear articulation, correct use of the damper pedal, and cogent dynamic nuance. 

Description
The further development of Level One pedagogy but encompassing canon, social Integration, and systemizations. Also included is the role of improvisation in the lesson at the piano, with the voice, and with the hand drum. Also covered is the further use and development of rote songs with pitch placement and function numbers and small piano pieces. 

Outcome
Candidates teach three twenty-minute periods of which two lessons will receive a pass. Detailed preparation precedes, and constructive critical analysis follows.
