The Recital Program has to be approved by the Suzuki Voice Exam Board at least two months before it is presented. The pianist should receive the accompaniments one month before the exam date and rehearsals should be arranged. The teacher-in-training should use their own students for the teaching exam, but in exceptional circumstances, two months notice is required for the exam board to arrange suitable students.
