The Certificate of Merit Program is very highly valued by college admission staffs and is very
widely known to be a very significant pointer to academic success in college. The program is divided
into 10 levels.... from very basic to very advanced. This program is great preparation for college or for any college
curriculum in Music Theory, Ear Training and Performance.
There
are 3 parts, Written Theory, Ear training, and Performance. The Performance Section is taken from a list of pieces which
is very extensive and introduces students to all the major composers.
Each of the 3 parts, Performance, Theory and Ear Training, is looked
over at year's end by professional college level Music Teachers who visit for the event.
There are 10 levels. .
The program begins in September and evaluations are held in March. The visiting
professors are super kind and highly experienced teachers who will always see the good before commenting on some
area where they think the student can improve.
We can begin
preparing next March's (2011) evaluations and theory.
It
is a wonderful program.
