Texas Music Educators Association collaborated to develop a solution for all music teachers.

The Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) and Texas Music Administrators Conference (TMAC), with over 11,000 school music educators dedicated to promoting excellence in music education, has chosen Music Prodigy to deliver TMEA’s music assessments through Music Prodigy Quiz.

In 2008, TMEA created and offered a music assessment tool for statewide use through a collaborative process driven by music educators. At the time, TMEA viewed desktops as the only way to deliver a widely needed performance assessment solution but was limited by technologies that lacked the capability to assess all voices and instruments as part of the assessment.

Earlier this year, Music Prodigy released Music Prodigy Quiz, a classroom tool that delivers performance and music theory assessment together in a single setting powered by Music Prodigy’s patented polyphonic pitch recognition technology that listens to and evaluates music as it is performed by all voices, strings, percussion, and winds. Music Prodigy Quiz works on iPhone, iPad, Android devices, Windows, and Mac platforms.

"We are pleased to offer the next generation of technology to Texas educators and students. With Music Prodigy Quiz's ability to listen and instantaneously evaluate every student, voice, instrument, and at every grade level we can increase classroom teaching time for Texas music educators and quantify both theory and performance progress for every student." said Frank Coachman, TMEA Deputy Director.

Music Prodigy was deployed in classrooms this spring for summative assessments, using TMEA assessment items and is now ready for every music educator and student this fall.

"Music Prodigy is focused on working with music educators to help them save time and provide them with great teaching and learning tools. Music Prodigy is proud to work with such a leading music educational organization. We are excited to deliver TMEA's assessment content in Music Prodigy Quiz." said Harold Lee, Music Prodigy's CEO.

Music Prodigy Quiz is a feature of Music Prodigy Core that combines a cloud-based service with a powerful software application, the capability to listen to and instantaneously evaluate all voices, strings, percussion, and winds, includes a music content library with thousands music titles, includes skill-development exercises, and a rich reporting experience for teachers with a direct and training-free approach to document the progress of each student. Music Prodigy Quiz can also be used separately for formative and summative, annual assessments.

Since 2008, Music Prodigy has been helping hundreds of thousands of musicians improve their performance using Music Prodigy technology.
