Aurally verified, yes, but I would hope that the criteria is somewhat more objective than "pleasing" and certainly was when I proctored one exam. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com Dave Renaud described the procedure exactly correctly, as far as I know. Notes that appear out of tolerance are aurally verified before points are deducted. I suppose the examinee can make his case, but if the aural checks show the note is flat or sharp, then the points _are_ deducted. Kent
