WHAT is AIM?:
AIM is an examination system developed by ISMTA covering twelve levels of piano theory and performance.
Students play pieces and other components of music learning for a judge.
They receive a score, certificate, medal and pin for each level they master.
AIM is not a competition with other students and judges make every effort to make AIM a positive and rewarding experience.

AIM exams are taken in 2 parts for levels 2-12.
The theory exam is in the Fall, and the performance exam is in the Spring.
Levels 1A, 1B, and 1C do not take the theory portion of the exam in the Fall
and only complete the performance portion in the Spring.
