Certificate Program
ASTA Certificate Achievement Program
The Certificate Achievement Program for Strings offers eleven-level graded curriculum guides and periodic performance exams from elementary material through the standard concerto repertoire for violin, viola, and cello. Each level is defined by a set of goals such as starting vibrato, third position, off-string bowing, etc., and the corresponding study material. This program complements the traditional and Suzuki teaching styles.
Completion of each level is demonstrated at a performance exam in which the student plays scales, an etude, one to three pieces, and sight-reading. The student's progress is recognized through a NJASTA Certificate of Achievement, accompanied by examiners comments.
These exams are not competitive; they are meant to enhance and reinforce the efforts of the average student, motivating them to persevere and even excel in their instrumental studies. More than fifty New Jersey teachers have sent students to these exams over the past three years. LEARN MORE>> or download the brochure now.
