To generate exercises based on a state or organization standard:

  1. Log in and go to the 'Preferences' tab on your Dashboard
  2. Under 'Standards' check the box(es) of the standards that you'd like to have available to you.
  3. Click 'Save'.
  4. Click 'Start Sight Reading' to open the mixer and pick your settings for the exercise you'd like to generate using the standard.
  5. Select the medium (instrument, voice-type, or ensemble) for which you will be generating the exercise using the standard.  If you are going to be generating music for an ensemble, see step #6, if you are going to be generating music for a solo instrument or voice see step #7
  6. The ensemble mediums for the standards will be named specifically for each standard.  For example, if you want to generate some multiple-part choir music for the Virginia Choral Directors Association high school choral assessments, from the 'Ensemble' group you would select the ensemble named 'VCDA High School Choral Assessment' instead of selecting the ensemble named 'Choir (multi-part)'.  Select the ensemble for the standard you'd like to use and then pick your level, key and time signature and generate your music for your standard.
  7. For solo instruments and voice-types, you would select the specific instrument or voice-type (such as Trumpet or Soprano) and then when you get to the level tab you'll see the various standards and levels for those standards listed (see the screenshot below).  Select your level, pick your key and time signature, and generate the music for your standard.
