MTEL Music Test

The Music MTEL^® test has three subtests: music theory and aural analysis, music history and literature, and aural analysis and music education. The questions in the aural analysis sections are presented in three steps:

1. The number of the question is spoken; the candidate is given time to find it in the test booklet.
2. The question is read aloud once. The candidate reads the question at the same time.
3. The passage is played once unless it is a very short selection, i.e. a single chord is repeated.

The candidate is given 20 seconds to select a response on the answer document.
