2023-2024 Changes and Updates:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n- Test changes:<\/i><\/b> please note there are significant changes to some of the testing materials for levels 8-12. Be sure to click on \u201cTheory Practice Materials\u201d and check out the \u201c23-24 Theory Changes and Sample Tests.\u201d The slideshow is great and particularly helpful.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- Adult students are now eligible to participate in both theory and World of Music testing<\/i><\/b>. I have received multiple requests for adult students to be allowed to take the theory test, and I am so excited to see this allowed starting in the 2023-2024 testing year! Adult students must first join Student Affiliate in order to take the TMTA Theory test and may earn a Theory Achievement Medal with a score of 90 and above.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- \u00a0<\/span><\/i>If a student testing in the TMTA Theory program for the first time does not pass the theory test level attempted, the teacher may choose to move the student to a lower test level for the next testing period. <\/i><\/b>For example, if a new student is entered at Level 6 and the student fails the test, the teacher may choose to lower the student to an easier level such as Level 4 for the next testing period.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- Long distance testing<\/i><\/b> for students in the 48 contiguous states will be handled by the local association.<\/span><\/i> Local theory chairs will no longer need to fill out a permission form and order long distance tests separately. Here are the new procedures for Long Distance Testing:<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- The local chair orders the tests as part of their regular order no later than three weeks prior to the initial test date.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- Upon receipt of the tests, the local theory chair mails the long distance test to the student immediately via Priority Mail. The test must remain sealed until test administration.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- The proctor for the long distance test can be another MTNA member teacher, a public school teacher, or a collegiate\/university faculty member. The proctor may not be the student\u2019s TMTA teacher, parent, nor another relative of the student. The test may be administered virtually or in-person.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- The tests must be completed and mailed back via Priority Mail to the local theory chair by the local association’s initial test date.<\/i><\/b> This will ensure tests for the association are able to be mailed to the graders within the one week deadline.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n- For students who live outside the contiguous United States (i.e. another country, Alaska, or Hawaii), please contact the TMTA Office at <\/i><\/b>office.tmta@gmail.com<\/i><\/b> for an alternative testing option.<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
