Registration Guidelines

GENERAL INFORMATION 

All Registrations will be completed online. Your region is the region in which you are living (including non-UMTA teacher.) If the scheduling does not work for a student, please consider entering the online division. Region entry changes must be approved by the Region Chairs and State Chair for applicable regions (See Regions for chairperson’s name, address to send forms, and contact information.)

  • Please fill out the form for your region completely and accurately. Double-check spelling on students’ names. The registration name is what will be printed on the certificates. 
  • Please pay online for all students in a single form.  
  • PLEASE remind/notify your students and parents that there are NO refunds for cancellations or no-shows. 
  • Adhere to all registration deadlines. Region chairpersons need ample time to schedule the evaluations and communicate with teachers. No late registrations will be accepted.

REPERTOIRE GUIDELINES & time limits

  • Solo Division: 1 or 2 pieces. Memorization is encouraged, but not required. All entries should be high performance quality. If the piece is unmemorized, an original copy must be used by the student and a second original copy must be available for the judge. 
  • Duet entries are allowed and may also consist of 1 or 2 pieces. The division entered is determined by the average of the students’ ages rounded down. Original music is required for the judges. If the duet is not memorized the performers must also use original music. Duets do not have to be memorized to be duly considered for the State Honors Recital.
  • Two-piano duets are eligible. Please contact your region chair for more information on how to enter this division. No piano concertos will be accepted. Your region might not have two pianos available, and you may need to enter the online division. Please plan accordingly.
  • Instrumental and vocal entries are judged separately from the Piano division.
