This Canvas site is for proficiency exams for non-piano majors. If your major field department is Brass, Choral Conducting, Composition, Music Education, Musicology, Orchestral Conducting, Percussion, Strings, Voice, Woodwind Conducting, or Woodwinds, you are in the right place.

Exams will be heard in-person at MU 120. During the summer, online exams can also be accommodated, but you must email secpiano@iu.edu well in advance to coordinate this.

Sign-up Instructions

[If you already "enrolled" in the "course", please skip to step 3]

Note: please follow these steps using a web browser on your desktop/laptop/tablet, NOT the Canvas mobile app.

1. Click "JOIN THIS COURSE" at the right.

2. Then click "ENROLL IN COURSE" on the subsequent screen.

3. Click the Calendar link in the left navigation menu.

4. Click "Find Appointment" over on the right hand side of the calendar page.

5. Choose an available time for the proficiency dates above.

6. If time slots do not appear: assuming you've followed all the previous steps in the instructions, you probably need to go back to the Canvas main “Calendar” screen.

7. On the right hand side, make sure that the little square box to the left of “Keyboard Proficiencies” is selected. If it isn’t, then calendar appointments won’t show up for you. If it is selected, and no appointments are showing up on the proficiency dates, that means the time slots are full. Contact secpiano@iu.edu for further instructions.
