EAR TRAINING REOUIREMENTS (13 questions; included on written theory test)
1. Identifli Major and Perfect intervals up to and including an octave, ascending and descending,blocked and broken.
2. Identiff the difference between Major and minor triads in root position, blocked and broken.3. Hear the difference between a Major or minor scale in harmonic form.4. Be able to hear the difference between 214 and3l4, andbetween 314 and4l4 meters.5. Identifo the tonality of a simple four-measure phrase in Major or minor.6. Identiff a half or authentic cadence at the end of a chord progression, using common tone.7. Be able to hear the difference between a mordent and a turn.8. Be able to hear the difference between Vivo and Largo, and between tranquillo and animqto.9. Be able to hear whether a chord progression is in a Major key or a minor key.
SIGIIT-READING REOUIREMENTS s
Be able to sight-read Level 3 music. All skills from previous levels may be included, with the addition ofcompound meters, tied notes, and dynamic voicing (bass clef .f, treble clef p). Students will have 30seconds to preview the example.
IMPROVISATION REQUIREMENTS (Optional)
Students may perform an optional Improvisation at their CM Evaluation. Improvisation is an optionalperformance segment. Any improvisation may be played during the performance portion of theevaluation.
o Improvisation is not rated by the evaluator.. Improvisation is limited to 5 - 60 seconds in length, as listed in the CM Syllabus according to the
CM level.e Improvisation is done in addition to and not in place of the other required segments of the CM
evaluation (technique, sight-reading, and repertoire). Students must prepare the entire technicalrequirements as indicated for their level. All segments (including improvisation) need to beperformed within the appropriate evaluation length of each level.
o Improvisation may be from any resource and is independent of a student's registered CM level.
