Certificate of Merit 2009 - 2010
For Piano Students

The Music Teachers’ Association of California sponsors a state-wide program called Certificate of Merit. At La Costa Music, we offer this program to piano students who are ready to develop their performance skill, technique, ear-training, sight-reading and understanding of music theory. We recommend that students have studied piano for at least two years, and be in 3rd or 4th grade at school. They should also have developed good practice habits.

Certificate of Merit requires a commitment from both parents and students. Students must be willing to practice and be prepared for all testing. There are additional theory classes to attend. These are scheduled on Saturdays. (Please see the dates below).

There will be additional fees for this program which will be billed in three installments in November, January and February.

Students will be invited to participate in Certificate of Merit in September.
