To participate in the CM program, students must be enrolled with a teacher who is a current member of MTAC. This ensures that the teacher is familiar with MTAC’s standards and requirements for certification.
The CM program includes a performance evaluation where students are assessed on their ability to perform selected repertoire. This is a key part of the certification process, which also may include other components like theory tests and sight-reading.
To effectively prepare students for the CM examinations, teachers should offer comprehensive guidance and resources that cover both performance skills and theoretical knowledge, as both components are integral to the certification process.
Achieving a higher level in the CM program provides students with formal recognition and a certificate that demonstrates their advanced proficiency in music, which can be valuable for their academic and professional pursuits.
The CM program generally requires students to be evaluated annually to track their progress and ensure they meet the standards for advancing to the next level of certification.
