Mission Statement

What is IPPEC's Role? 　

---- A Simple & Nonprofit Educational Organization.

The International Piano Performance Examinations Committee (IPPEC) exists to provide a graded system of examinations in music, based in Taiwan, by providing not only quality music examinations, but also educative services to the teachers, students and music learners. IPPEC has worked very hard to gather all the useful educational information and resources for our music data bank in order to help students and teachers to achieve their goals in music studies.

As musical education has been receiving more and more attention, numerous music learning centers come into existence in market; most of them are owned by musical instruments franchised companies. Despite of numerous private music institutes existing, Taiwanese music students face an environment where none of these organizations can offer an academic-oriented evaluation system nor can they provide a complete educational consultation in terms of further studies in music. Therefore, IPPEC was initiated in 1989 to serve the needs of music students in Taiwan.

IPPEC have a commitment to serving as a Simple & Nonprofit Educational Organization. We endorse the importance to operate this music examinations organization with a fair and just principle. In the meantime, we expect to fulfill our commitment by providing students with practical information on further studies overseas.
