GENERAL INFORMATION 

All Registrations are to be completed online. Your region is the region in which you are living (including non-UMTA teachers.) If there is a scheduling conflict for your region, please consider entering your student in the Online division.

• Please fill out the registration form 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. 
• A student may not enter more than once, unless they are participating in a solo and a duet.
• Adhere to all registration deadlines. Region chairpersons need ample time to schedule the evaluations and communicate with teachers. No late registrations will be accepted.
• Up to 20 percent of performers in each age division will be selected to perform in the UMTA State Honors Recitals held at Daynes Music in Midvale, Utah after all regions have completed their evaluations. Some regions hold their own Honors Recital where ALL STUDENTS receiving a SUPERIOR rating are invited to perform. Please check with your Region Chair for details.

REPERTOIRE GUIDELINES & time limits

• Solo Division: 1 or 2 pieces. Memorization is encouraged, but not required. All entries should be of 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 considered for the State Honors Recital.
• Two-piano duets are eligible. (No concertos accepted.) Your region might not have two pianos available, and you may need to enter the online division. Please check with your region chair and plan accordingly.
• Instrumental and vocal entries are judged in their own division, separate from the Piano division.
