ASTA CAP: online for 2021

​

The ASTA Certificate Advancement Program (ASTACAP) seeks to establish definite goals and awards for students of all levels through non-competitive examinations. Students are judged on technical and musical preparedness at specific levels (foundation – level 10) by an ASTA examiner of musical and pedagogical stature. A certificate of achievement is awarded for each level successfully completed.

How do you and your students benefit from ASTACAP?

  • Progressive, flexible curriculum of scales, etudes, and repertoire from foundation – level 10

  • Individualized selection of study materials

  • Use in any teaching tradition

  • Non-competitive performance experience

  • Examination by highly experienced, respected instructional specialists

  • Detailed, supportive feedback

  • Exam results provided directly to teachers

  • Collaborate with other students and teachers

  • ASTACAP Flier from National ASTA

  • Oregon hosts a state-wide ASTACAP event each April, and National ASTA hosts separate ASTACAP events.  Please check their website for their details.

  • Video recordings may be uploaded into the Google Form directly from your computer, or via YouTube links.

  • Note the differences among the check boxes for Comments only; Certificate, and Honors: Comments only means that no score will be given. Certificates are given to students who successfully pass the exam. Honors citations are given for students who have memorized their solo pieces.

  • No Piano Required for any portion of the exam (18th Century and later sonata piano requirement has been waived for June 2021 Online Exams in light of our global hardship)

  • This is aligned with the National ASTA process.​​
