MEA Auditions
MEA's mission is to elevate the standards of private music teaching in the state of
New Jersey. MEA provides musical development for all students through activities
such as auditions, competitions, recitals, scholarships and master classes given
by artist teachers. Continuing education in music and life-long learning are
promoted through monthly lectures/recitals for all MEA members and guests.
Grades and Categories
There are eight grades of performance levels; progressing from Introductory to Young Artist. Each grade is
divided into categories and represents different levels of performance requirements for students.

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.

Theory tests are very beneficial for students to take since a good theoretical foundation will help in
learning and understanding the pieces they are playing. The Theory Test does not affect the audition
rating. Students who take the test will receive a gold seal to affix to their audition certificates if they
achieve a minimum of 50% of the correct answers.
