Collegiate students may enter collegiate-level MMTA Honors Auditions or MTNA Competitions themselves and still be eligible to enter their own students in the MMTA Honors Auditions. (Please note this rule applies to MMTA Honors Auditions only–because of MTNA rules, collegiate members are NOT eligible to enter students in the MTNA competitions.)

- The student resides in the state of Missouri
- The place of music study is in Missouri (for instance, at a Missouri college or university).
- Collegiate contestants must be Senior High graduates, but they need not be enrolled in a college or university.
- Students entering MTNA Competitions may not enter the MMTA Honors Auditions in the same performing medium (Please note–this includes both District and State MMTA auditions–MTNA competitors may not enter either level of MMTA auditions, in the same medium).
- All pre-collegiate MMTA Honors Audition entries MUST begin at the District Auditions. Pre-collegiate students receiving a "I" rating at the District Auditions are eligible to enter the State Auditions in November.
- All collegiate MMTA Honors Auditions entrants proceed directly to the State Auditions; for collegiate students there are no District Auditions.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR MMTA HONORS AUDITIONS

- For auditions requiring memorization, make sure it is clear in the video that no printed music is present. For piano, the performer’s face, fingers, and feet should be visible, and the camera should be angled in such a way that the adjudicator can see that there is no printed music inside the piano.
- In the instance of live accompaniment, competitors should make the best possible effort for the accompanist to be visible in the video while also adhering to safe practices regarding social distancing and other precautions as prescribed by local health and decision-making authorities.
- Competitors will upload individual videos of each musical selection to an unlisted YouTube channel and then submit a link to the appropriate auditions chair.
- If you would like to include subtitles of the piece/movement, that is fine, but make sure there is nothing on the video identifying the competitor’s name, teacher, or other personal information.
NOTE: Students are NOT required to submit scores since the competitions are online this year. Competitors/teachers are encouraged to keep an original copy on hand, in the rare instance that a judge might request it for a more obscure or unknown work
ACCOMPANIMENT FOR MMTA HONORS AUDITIONS
- Accompaniment is NOT required for video submissions this year and judges will be instructed to disregard this as a factor in adjudication
- If the competitor chooses to use a live accompaniment, MMTA strongly encourages them to use best practices for safety as prescribed by local health and decision-making authorities.
- Teachers are allowed to accompany their students in the MMTA Honors Auditions
- CD’s and online platforms such as SmartMusic.com, Appcompanist.com, Piano Accompaniments.com and Acapella may be utilized as is appropriate. Recorded accompaniments are allowed.
2020 MMAMTA Evaluative Auditions
MMAMTA Evaluative Auditions
Enrollment Deadline: November 1, 2020
Video Due Date: November 21, 2020
Format: Video submission only (2020)
Fees: $10 Beginners/Elementary, $15 Intermediate, $20 Advanced per student
(must pay with single check payable to MMAMTA)
This event, designed to provide a happy musical experience and goal of accomplishment for all students, is divided into Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. It is a closed-door audition that does not give ratings, but provides a constructive critique from an adjudicator.
• The requirements for basic technique and repertoire are listed in this handbook (pp. 19-22)
• Each student receives a critique and a ribbon or a certificate
• Fees for 2020 only, based on level: $10 Beginners/Elem, $15 Intermediate, $20 Advanced
(per student)
Guidelines:
• Students are encouraged to perform two memorized compositions of contrasting style or period. Strings, winds, and brass students may perform two compositions of contrasting style, one of which is memorized.
• In 2020, all auditions will be submitted by video link; students should prepare each piece separately, upload to YouTube as an “Unlisted” file, and then provide all their links to the teacher; then the teacher will send the links to the auditions chair via email.
• For each piece submitted, the student should prepare introductory information to recite either before the performance – or as a separate video file – that includes: title of the composition, composer name, musical era of the piece, form of the piece, and at least one musical term within the piece with definition. He/she should also record a scale in the key of the piece, and pianists should include a tonic chord or cadence. Teachers may adapt this as necessary to their students and/or instruments.
• One movement only of a sonata or sonatina is permitted due to time limitations.
• For 2020, no scores need to be provided for the judge. If helpful, the student or teacher may inform the judge of the edition consulted
• The goal will be to send completed comments to the teacher by about 2 or 3 weeks after the submission, and the chair will provide a certificate blank for the teacher to complete and print and/or send digitally to the student
• There will be no refund of fees
Determining Fees:
• You will need to set the level of your students based on the difficulty and length of their pieces. This is the normal time allotment, and is the maximum that the judge is obliged to evaluate:
Beginning & Elementary 5 minutes
Intermediate 7 minutes
Advanced 12 minutes
• When you send the links to the videos to the Auditions Chair, please carefully indicate the name and level of each student you are submitting, so that is clear to the judge. Student names are optional, perhaps first names to be certain the comments and the videos can be linked accurately.
