ASTA Certificate Program
for Strings
A Non-Competitive Examination System
The ASTA Certificate Advancement Program (ASTACAP) is a comprehensive, non-competitive, series of exams for string students that covers scales, sight-reading, etudes and solos; with 11 levels, Foundation through 10, for which students are given a certificate on passing each level. This is a new offering from ASTA in the last three years. Students can participate in an exam to be awarded a grade or for comments only. Entrance may be at any level and skipping levels forwards or backwards is allowed. Levels may be repeated. Teachers in any location can offer their own sites, judges, etc. This will streamline the process for each teacher involved, and will minimize transportation costs. Faith Farr will act as a resource for those running individual sites.
