Virginia Music Teachers Association
Sight Reading Exams

Skills Day: Keyboard & Sight Reading
January 8, 2023
Application Deadine:
​December 11, 2022
CHAIR
Laura Bogart
Co-Chair
Kate Moore
Students may request AM or PM time frame.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
 The teacher must register you 


TEACHER GUIDELINES

Students must bring 1 rating sheet for each skill being tested.  The teacher must download them for you from mtfest.com.  They will be available after the schedule is published and you'll be given them at your very next lesson!

Teachers must agree to abide by the Teacher Responsibilities.

No make-up exams will be given for any reason.

Due to the number of exams being given, the paucity of volunteers, and the difficulty of scheduling adjacent exams for those students testing on two or more skills, please ask your students to save the whole day, and understand that time requests, nor requests for make-ups can be honored.


WHAT TO EXPECT

The student will be asked to look over two separate copies of music to familiarize herself with the piece.  Two pieces will be used for sight reading except for levels 10,11 and 12 where only one piece will be used.

The judge will ask questions and possibly ask the student to tap a rhythm, hands separate, or together.

The student may be asked to count aloud.

In long pieces, the judge reserves the right to stop the performance before the end of the piece.

Sight reading terminology will be based on the VMTA Terms list and signs that each student has prepared for their VMTA Theory Exam.

CORRECT USE OF FINGERING will be a factor in every level.

All knowledge of prior levels is cumulative.

Sample Questions:

What is the time (or meter) signature?  What does the bottom number mean?

How many dotted half notes are there in this piece?

On the fall board, with both hands, tap the rhythm of measures 3 and 4.

Point out the first phrase.  Tap the rhythm of that phrase.

EVERY FAMILY has VMTA SIGHT READING SYLLABUS . 
The only preparation in our studio for this exam is your daily preparation of new pieces for your lessons, your pencilwork and organized practice plans that enable you to focus on various aspects of new pieces, and any supporting sight reading books younger students complete as part of their weekly practice.

​This event is required for participation in District Auditions.
