MMTA is abuzz with excitement – the new theory materials are
being published this spring! Along with the excitement come questions about how
the new program will align with current program requirements. Here’s a chart you can keep close to your
piano exam syllabus.

The column on the left shows Piano Exams by level. The middle column shows Theory requirements
as listed in the current piano exam syllabus.
The column on the right shows the updated Theory requirements, as passed
by the Board of Directors.
You will notice some new things:
- · The 2015 Theory program includes eight levels rather than the previous six.
- · Starting in September, Piano Exam Level Two will now have a prerequisite of 2015 Theory Level One.
Keep in mind, if your students have already passed required levels
of the 2002 Theory program, those scores will qualify for the prerequisite
theory. For instance, if you are
registering a student for Piano Exam Level Five and the student has passed 2002
Theory Level Two, you are all set!
Also, keep in mind that meeting the theory requirements qualify students for the comprehensive piano certificate and make students eligible for monetary awards.
If you have questions about the theory
requirement for piano exams, please contact Program Director Gina Skule.
