“The atmosphere at ISM is just incredible-I’ve loved the feeling of being surrounded by music and musicians. The support we all receive both from staff and our own friends is wonderful—it’s been good to be around people who understand my love of music and are striving for the same thing” -Matt

Optional Diploma/Certificate Program

 

 

The Diploma/Certificate Program is for students who want to deepen their musical involvement and education and attain an especially high standard of performance and participation. This comprehensive music curriculum provides structure and guidelines for students who wish to measure their musical progress.

  • National Piano Guild/American College of Musicians Examinations (piano)

  • American String Teacher Association Examinations (strings)

  • ABRSM Examinations (all instruments and voice)

ISM prepares interested students for the practical (instrumental) and theory examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), National Piano Guild/American College of Musicians, and American String Teacher Association Examinations. Faculty select students for whom the exam curriculum and performance challenge provide appropriate motivation and reward. External examiners provide assessments of the students' skills, presenting the opportunity for each student, their teacher and the school director to review progress together and offer encouragement, guidance and advice on specified areas.
