National Conservatory

The National Conservatory exams occur twice a year and are evaluated by professional judges who fly in and are specifically trained to administer the examinations. It is the Conservatory’s policy to never award a score of 100. A passing score is 60. A score in the 90s is extremely rare and is titled ‘High honors with distinction’. A score is the 80s is titled ‘High Honors’.

PPA students continue to excel at these exams consistently scoring in the 80s and 90s and often attaining the highest score in the entire state of California.

Below is the PPA National Conservatory Hall of Fame. The list represents the student who has achieved the highest score in that particular level.

Congratulations!
