The Achievement in Music (AIM) program consists of an AIM Syllabus and AIM Festival sponsored by our SBAMTA Association.  The AIM Syllabus is a curriculum outline, promoting a comprehensive approach to the teaching of music.  Twelve different levels of achievement are outlined for four skill areas: repertoire, sightplaying, keyboard skills, and theory (both written & aural).  The different levels provide the foundation for AIM Festivals.  The syllabus can also be useful to an individual teacher or student who wants a sequenced, progressive outline for teaching or learning a particular skill area.  AIM Festivals provide a musically well-rounded goal for each year’s study, as well as a written evaluation of a student’s performance skill and musical understanding.  An award certificate and large medal add to the student's achievement.
