Exams

Setting and attaining goals are crucial to the growth and development of any child in any setting. Music is no different.

At the Merriam School of Music, our curriculum is designed to prepare students for exams that allow them to set and attain goals at their own speed and comfort level.

The benefits of exams:

• Reinforcement of the need for self-discipline in order to succeed
• Development of the understanding that hard work over the long-term leads to accomplishment
• Benchmarking of student progress through a defined system
• Feedback provided in a positive and helpful manner from certified examiners
• Faculty accountability to teach the curriculum
• Self-esteem and confidence development through completion of an exam!

Exam Support

Not only do students feel the support and encouragement from teachers and other students during their own lessons, The Merriam School of Music provides additional activities and opportunities to prepare for exam success. Sign up recitals and master classes throughout the year and workshops during the summer ensure that no student will ever feel underprepared or alone going into an exam. They have the whole school behind them!
