- Automatic Musical Theory Test Offered-Harmonics, Score Reading, Listening Test
- Posted Video Evaluated by 3 Current Professors and Real College Advisors
- Average Grade Points and Advisors’ Comments Informed to the Students
Here’s how the test process works. First, the students have to post a video that they have performed. Then the faculty is placed automatically. After that, students have to take theory tests including Harmonics, Score Reading, and a Listening test. Finally, you can get notifications of both the theory test and the video. Every result includes average grade points and advisors’ comments for the students.
In the current market, there is no business model that provides mock performance examination for practical music that is based on the internet as well as evaluated by about 50 professors currently in position. This would be a great opportunity for those who could not afford expensive offline practical music lessons and it would solve the regional and financial unfairness. Also, the improvement of practical music skills by students is expected with SilMo.
