The Charleston Music Teachers Association sponsors Achievement Day to encourage students to perform at a higher level of musicianship and to support systematic musical growth. An added benefit for the students is the realization that they are part of a large group of young musicians within the Charleston area community.

Approximately 400 students participate each year. Adjudicated in performance, applied technique, sight reading, and written theory, students earn points in each area and receive a blue, red, or white ribbon based on the total number of points. After several years of accumulating these points, students receive a trophy, the "Crescendo Award."

Charleston Music Teachers Association is a professional association of music teachers affiliated with South Carolina Music Teachers Association and Music Teachers National Association. Its purpose is to promote professional fraternity and to stimulate professional growth among music teachers.
