Info from our local teacher association - "For this event, students prepare music from different musical eras and contrasting styles. The musician has the opportunity to present these pieces to a college level adjudicator for both written remarks and interactive time. As the student works with the adjudicator, immediately following their performance, it is helpful for both the student and their teacher as this provides objective feedback, encouragement, and helps the student to meet and accomplish musical goals. Overall, this is a wonderful, rewarding experience for our students."

Info from our local teacher association - “This non-competitive program consists of ten progressive levels. Each level requires proficiency in rhythm and pulse development, sight-playing, technique, written theory, and ear-training. There is also an options portion to the program for the creative student. Students may enter any level, and may work on one or all areas of the exam. Participation is not based on year in school or years of music study. The test provides a music event evaluating the progressive growth of ALL students – those studying music as a hobby as well as those aspiring to enter the music world professionally. The Music Literacy Program is also called Ribbon Festival as students have the opportunity to earn ribbons in the rooms they test in. Many teachers find that they are already teaching the concepts contained in the curriculum. The Music Literacy Program simply keeps the teacher and student accountable for learning the concepts in a progressive and timely manner. The Music Literacy Program provides valuable feedback for teachers, students, and parents through a written evaluation and individual scores in each area. Students also receive a certificate of participation.”
