I help students prepare for the Certificate of Merit (CM) examinations, a prestigious music education program organized by the Music Teachers’ Association of California.
The Certificate of Merit program offers a structured and comprehensive curriculum in music study, designed to develop students’ skills in performance, technique, ear training, sight reading, and music theory. With clearly defined levels, Certificate of Merit provides a pathway for continuous growth, helping students stay motivated and focused as they progress. Many students find the program rewarding because it fosters a strong foundation in musicianship while encouraging excellence.
Participation in Certificate of Merit is also a valuable addition to college applications, as it demonstrates a student’s long-term dedication to both academic and artistic development.
