About SCM

There are many programs for music evaluation locally and nationwide,

  but we often receive suggestions to start an evaluation program that

truly helps today’s youth stay interested in music studies by giving lots of

love and encouragement.  We all know music education is a hard job for

the teachers and students, especially in the modern day when they are

used to doing things with a few clicks of the mouse. However, this lacks

creativity which is why musical instrument study is so valuable, not only

for increasing brain capacity but also for bettering yourself as a person.

As we mentioned before, there are many evaluation programs available,

but our main goal is to make the Satori Certificate of Musicianship (SCM)

a program that encourages students of music, especially kids, to stay

interested in continuing their music studies. We have created 10

progressive levels for students to achieve in a friendly way that make

music studies fun and productive.  These also help teachers set goals for

their students to progressively reach a higher level.  We believe that

music studies should leave good memories in life, not painful ones.  This

should be a win-win situation for teachers as well as students.

SCM has 10 progressive levels for students to achieve.  The requirements

for each level contain theory which the student will need to download

from our website and finish at home before bringing the work to their

performance evaluation at our facility. We also have a list of repertoire

for each level so please check it thoroughly to be eligible for your

chosen level.  The SCM evaluation focuses mainly on performance. After

evaluation, students will get a certificate that indicates their passing

theSCM.

SCM is a non-membership program. To join, simply download the forms and

sumit them with your payment.  We also recommend checking out our

other programs which are also available on our website, to find benefits

for music study needs.
