We don't have the Praxis in Florida. I'd never even heard of the Praxis
until I read it on this list. You have to take specific area of
certification exams. And the music one is simple enough that if you don't
pass it, you really shouldn't be teaching music. And if you don't pass it
with flying colors, then you probably slept through college.
