Achievement In Music (AIM)
ISMTA has developed a nationally recognized curriculum that focuses on comprehensive musicianship skills for students of piano, organ, voice, and strings. As students progress from beginning through advanced levels, they receive a rich training in performance and theory.
Yearly examinations give students the incentive to set goals and experience the rewards of musical accomplishment. Even if you choose not to enroll students in the examinations, AIM materials will prove valuable. The repertoire listed in the syllabus is categorized according to grade level and musical period. Supplementary materials provide teaching guidelines for the technique and theory portions of the program.

If you have specific questions about the AIM program, please send e-mail to Mary Beth Molenaar at m-molenaar@northwestern.edu. General questions about the AIM program that might be of interest to all teachers can be sent to Patricia Jeske at pjeske@rockford.edu. Answers will be posted in our "Dear AIMy" advice column in our quarterly newsletters.
Local Association Chairs may click here for an online version of the Plaque and Bar order form.
We also have the AIM Merit Award certificates available for download. We still sell these, of course, but some local associations prefer the convenience of downloading and printing their own certificates. We've made these available in two formats. If you would like a word document in which you can type in your student's name, level, instrument, and then the date, click here .
If you prefer a simple pdf version that you can print and then write on, click here .
