As this is my inaugural year affiliated with MTAC, four of approximately 10 invited students opted to partake in the optional Music Teacher Association of California Certificate of Merit program. All four received State Honors. Testing includes Repertoire, Sight Reading, Technique and Theory/Ear Training. Preparation starts in the fall, and takes dedication, practice and determination. Congratulations to Paulina, Alex, Guisseth and Adam!
Paulina earned Excellent in all categories!
