CAPMT STUDENT EVALUATIONS provide a comprehensive curriculum for piano and violin students. The yearly (1:1, non-competitive) evaluations include performance, oral questions, technique, sight reading, a written music literacy test, and aural skills. Performance for an evaluator includes three pieces representing different time periods and styles. Memorization is recommended for all three pieces, but is required for two. In addition, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of music notation, symbols, terms, music history time periods, composers, form, tonality, and rhythm at a level appropriate for the age and level of the student.
Syllabi for Piano (Levels Preparatory A through 10), as well as Music Literacy Workbooks with Sample Written Tests are available for free by following the link below.
