Description: Music Progressions is a KMTA sponsored program that is de- signed to be a suggested curriculum of independent music study. The annual evaluation measures a student’s progress in all areas of musicianship. This non- competitive program consists of ten progressive levels. Each level requires pro-ficiency in performance, music terminology, rhythm and pulse development, sight-playing, scales, written theory and ear-training. Students receive a certifi- cate of participation, a ribbon, written adjudicator’s critique, and results from music listening and theory tests.
Rules: Students may enter at any level. Participation is not based on year in school or years of music study. Students enroll in one level for all categories. Because this space does not allow for the detailed explanations of requirements and options for each level, please refer to the Music Progressions Curriculum Guide. It is available to download at www.ksmta.org. Also available is the Mu- sic Progressions Resource Handbook, a teacher’s manual that contains resources and suggestions to help prepare students for the event.
