GMTA Theory Tests

GMTA is dedicated to providing recognition for outstanding achievement in music theory. GMTA's Theory Tests include five levels of testing (I, II, III, IV, and V) that each involve both written and aural (ear training) sections. The tests are distributed in the fall and administered on one or more dates set by each Local Association. The graded tests will be returned to the teachers of the students who take the tests, along with a certificate for each student acknowledging his or her level of achievement on the test.
