Repertoire: |
Two pieces for unaccompanied solo, or solo with accompaniment. Selection of the repertoire is at the discretion of the teacher. Arrangements and transcriptions should only be used if no suitable age appropriate literature is available. No simplified arrangements will be accepted. It is the intention that the repertoire should be chosen from the solo literature for each respective instrument. Memorization is required. |

Accompanists: |
Teachers and/or their students are responsible for obtaining and appropriately compensating their own accompanists prior to the events. In order to avoid scheduling conflicts with other students using the same accompanist, teachers MUST list them on the registration form prior to submission. Teachers may not accompany their students in auditions. NJMTA will provide a recommended list of accompanists should you require one. |
