ASTA Certificate Advancement Program*

*Please note that, as of July 1, 2008, the Certificate Program for Strings has changed its name to the ASTA Certificate Advancement Program (ASTACAP).  We are in the process of updating the website and all relevant materials.

 

 
 

 

The program that has been so successful in several ASTA state chapters has recently been adopted as a national program.  Benefits to ASTA CAP teachers and students include, but are not limited to:

  • Uniformity of expectations between states
  • Continual feedback through an examiner’s comments  on student progress
  • Documentation of achievements that can be used when applying to youth orchestras, summer music camps and college admission
  • Professionally designed and printed certificates for students
  • Member access to the ASTACAP handbook online
  • Access to a marketing brochure about the ASTACAP program to use for recruitment
  • Use of a specially designed ASTACAP logo for teachers to use on materials and cards
  • Listing of participating teachers on the website - Click here to see the current list! 

The ASTA Certificate Advancement Program 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- Level 10) by an examiner of musical and pedagogical stature. A certificate of achievement is awarded for each level successfully completed.
