The selection process for the Gifted and Talented Music Program will require your child to take a musical aptitude test and be evaluated by their Music Teacher. Your permission is required for administering this test and the evaluation. Your child will be given The Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation music aptitude test (Gordon). This test measures tonal imagery, rhythmic imagery, and musical sensitivity. In addition, your child will be evaluated by his or her Music Teacher using The EBY Musically Gifted Behavior Index, which rates musical behaviors in class activities.
Please understand that the program is highly selective, and the results of the selection process are final.
The in-person test will take place on the following dates. The total testing time will be approximately 40 minutes. It will be the parent’s responsibility to provide transportation to school, either before or after school, for the in-person school testing. Your child's Music teacher will email the details. All materials will be provided by the school.
Your child's Music Teacher will inform you by email regarding the in-person test after May 30, 2023.
