Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation

This music aptitude test is one of the most widely used and accepted on the market - a true gold standard for music educators.  The research that has gone into the development of this test, and its statistical reliability and validity, is unparalleled in the music education world.  Teachers have come to rely on it because it is easy to administer and, since aptitude is independent from music achievement, provides important information about students that would otherwise be impossible to obtain.  This test is crucial in helping music teachers adapt instruction to the individual differences of students and identify students who have the aptitude to take a more active role in school music programs.  Students do not need to be able to read to take the test.  It requires two 20-minute periods to administer, and yields tonal, rhythm, and composite scores.  With the convenience of the new CD-ROM, this test should be a bedrock of every school music education program in the English-speaking world.  Grades 1-6.
