Music Progressions is designed to be a suggested curriculum of independent music study for the members of KMTA and their students.  This curriculum is coupled with an annual test sponsored by KMTA local associations and/or groups of KMTA teachers. 

This noncompetitive program consists of ten progressive levels.  Each level requires proficiency in performance, music terminology, rhythm and pulse development, sight-playing, scales, written theory, and ear-training.  Students may be entered at any level.  Participation is not based on the student's 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.

I require my students to participate in MP because it provides me with feedback on each student's progress in many areas.  In addition, it provides the students with increased motivation to learn and progress throughout the year as they anticipate the yearly test.  I appreciate the fact that the tests are non-competitive and that most students report that they enjoy the interaction with the facilitators. 

If you have any questions about Music Progressions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I would love to answer any questions I can.
