The Achievement in Music (AIM) program consists of an AIM Syllabus and AIM Festivals, sponsored by local associations.
The AIM Syllabus is a curriculum outline, promoting a comprehensive approach to the teaching of music. Twelve different levels of achievement are outlined for five areas:
- Repertoire
- Technical study (or etude)
- Sight playing
- Keyboard skills
- Theory (written & aural)
The different levels detailed in the Syllabus provide the foundation for AIM Festivals. The syllabus can also be useful to an individual teacher or student who wants a sequenced, progressive outline for teaching or learning a particular area. If you are interested in receiving the free syllabus, please contact Jennifer Keeley.
AIM Festivals provide a musically well-rounded goal for each year’s study, as well as a written evaluation of a student’s performance skill and musical understanding.
