GENERAL INFORMATION
- By registering your child or yourself to participate in the Online Division Performance Evaluations, you, the parent or guardian, release any and all rights to UMTA and authorize UMTA to upload your child’s recorded performance to UMTA’s website, Facebook page, Instagram, and/or YouTube channel for recital and recognition purposes.
- Please fill out the registration form under the Online Region. Double-check spelling on students’ names for accuracy in printing certificates.
- PLEASE remind/notify your students and parents that there are NO refunds for cancellations or no-shows.
- Adhere to all registration deadlines. See registration guidelines for additional details.
- Only 20 percent of performers (per region) in each age division are selected to perform in the UMTA State Honors Recitals at Daynes Music in Midvale, Utah due to scheduling and time constraints. (Dates to be announced.) Check with your Region Chair for information on Local Honors Recitals.
- The Online Region is for piano entries only. Instrumental (non-piano) and vocal entries are accepted in the Instrumental/Vocal Region and are judged separate from the Online Division.
- VIDEOS and LINKS: Student performance videos must be uploaded to YouTube or Google Drive. A scan of the original score to that performance must also be uploaded to Google Drive. Both links need to be submitted on the entry form or sent to meletvin@comcast.net by the deadline. No Exceptions
