Evaluations and our students perform well and benefit greatly from

- Audition & Composition syllabi determine audition and performance criteria
- Technique marks of “S” or “U” do not affect performance ratings
- Please alert center heads of learning disabled students - Students with splints or casts require a physician's permission in
writing in order to perform
MEA Piano Auditions Philosophy
- To help raise the level of teaching standards;
- To help acquaint the pupil with every facet of musical knowledge and experience;
- To bring to parents an awareness of the true requirements involved in good and worthwhile musical study and instruction;
- To encourage pupils to further their musical studies by offering them an opportunity to achieve some rewards and recognition
for their efforts; - To assure them that their efforts will indeed offer them a richer, more meaningful activity that will prove to be of lasting
practical value as well as a cultural force in their adolescent and adult life.

Theory Test
All Music Notes Academy piano students take MEA's Theory Test
Music theory tests are beneficial for students to take since a strong theoretical foundation will help in
learning and understanding the pieces they are studying and performing. The Theory Test does not
affect the performance evaluation rating.
