CA Music CSET Info
Hi all, I currently work as a music teacher at a school, mainly teaching instrumental band classes. I’m scheduled for the CSETs in July. I was a music major in college for two years before I ended up switching my major due to a negative private instructor experience.
I’m incredibly nervous. I got the 90-day course provided by the CTC but haven’t started cause I just got it today. My main instrument is flute, and I am going on two years out of college so it’s been a minute since I’ve done music theory.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. I’m not sure what to study or how to study. I’m only scheduled for the first subtest and going in very blind as to what needs to be done. I’m not very good at piano, so I know I’ll need to practice that. But honestly I really don’t know anything and would love to know not only what to study but what to expect.
Honestly, anything you can tell me helps immensely. I don’t have guidance and I feel lost and scared I won’t pass since I’m driving over three hours to even take the test, I feel like I NEED to pass. Should I schedule my second subtest now? Or should I wait till my first is done. I’m worried too since it looks like 3 months out for scheduling.
