  1. Erica Hollen

    I have used these Theory Tests for several years to prepare my students for Washington State Music Teachers Associations Music Literacy Program. They are a perfect representation of the material found in each level. They do an excellent job of revealing a student’s knowledge and what they still need to learn. They also reveal to me areas in which to be more diligent in teaching. I also recommend the Rhythm Sheets for counting assessment and practicing.

  2. Tamara Rutgers

    Five stars — Excellent prep for WSMTA Music Literacy Program. Clear. Comprehensive — basically all the benefits listed by Erica Hollen. In addition to Rhythm Sheets, the sight reading samples for elementary to intermediate levels are effective prep for the sight reading part of the MLP.

  3. Salvador Rosales

    These exams are a great addition to my curriculum, they have improved my student assessments. I would recommend these test, to any teachers looking for additional tools for their classes.
