I volunteered at AIM (Achievement In Music) Festival at Butler University, Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016. I monitored the theory testing room where I greeted and answered questions related to the testing procedures. I also graded the test upon completion. The Indianapolis local Chairperson was Becky Baker Achievement in Music (AIM) Festival.

The Achievement in Music (AIM) program (currently only for piano) consists of an AIM Syllabus and AIM Festivals, sponsored by local associations.

The AIM Syllabus is a curriculum outline, promoting a comprehensive approach to the teaching of music. Twelve different levels of achievement are outlined for five areas: repertoire, technical study (or etude), sight playing, keyboard skills, and theory (written & aural). The different levels detailed in the Syllabus 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 area.
