- The purpose of this festival is to encourage the exploration of piano music by Baroque and Classical Era composers. Students may perform one or more pieces from either or both of the time periods, (for example, Bach Minuet and Clementi Rondo)
- Concertos and ensemble works are welcome
- Each performer will receive an achievement ribbon, a brief written evaluation, and an educational, easy going, no pressure “mini lesson” by the adjudicator. Some students with exceptional performances may be given “discreet” recognition by the adjudicator placing a gold seal on their certificates. Only the teachers and their students would see this gold seal. At the conclusion of the festival, the adjudicator will pick 3 “Memorable performances of the festival” to play at the EMTA showcase concert. The results will be announced only to the teachers via email.
- A check for the total amount must be included with the application form
- Pieces must be memorized.
- No photocopies by the performers are permitted at the festival.
- Measures must be numbered in the left-hand margin.
- Classes will be scheduled throughout the day according to level with elementary students in the morning and advanced students in the afternoon. No requests for more specific performance times or changes in the schedule can be accepted.
- A Post-It Note with the student's name should be placed on the first page of the piece so that it sticks up above the page.
- Applications must be submitted no later than October 10, 2017.
