The Georgia Music Teachers Association Auditions are dedicated to providing recognition for outstanding achievement in music theory. GMTA’s theory program has been revised and now includes five levels (I, II, III, IV, and V) of testing, effective August 2008. Each level includes an ear training section. GMTA Auditions guidelines are set and regulated by GMTA.
