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.

MOSY / WSL Fall Piano Showcase Audition
October 31, 2020
Winners' Showcase - November 15 - Sun 4pm at Missouri Theatre
| piano_student_showcase_2020_instruction_packet_final.pdf |
September 15, 2020
Piano Teachers of Mid-Missouri:
The Piano Student Showcase Planning Committee is committed to having a Showcase this year - whether in person or by video is still up in the air, but we want to continue this tradition for our young, talented pianists. Just a reminder that the applications and entry fees are due October 5th!
Due to the University of Missouri closing all facilities during the increased coronavirus cases at Mizzou, we will be unable to use the Sinquefield Music Center for the auditions. Since the auditions are not scheduled until October 31st, we are checking on other places with a grand or baby grand piano to host the auditions in a Covid-safe environment. If it is not possible for us to find a facility that will allow us to host the event, we have the alternate plans for students to submit a video to YouTube and will be using many of the guidelines published by MMTA for those videos. Whether we have the auditions in person or by video submission, all students auditioning will receive a certificate showing they auditioned for the Piano Student Showcase.
For the top auditions that are selected for the Showcase, we are still on the calendar to have the event at the Missouri Theatre, but if University of Missouri and City of Columbia do not relax their in-person meeting policies, we will produce a top quality video of the performances selected for the Showcase. Students can be proud of this production and they can have watch parties with their friends and families to view their performance. For those students appearing in their 3rd, 5th or 10th Showcase, special awards will be provided.
The Committee has clarified a couple of questions regarding the geographic area of the students participating and the grade levels. The Piano Student Showcase is for mid-Missouri students (kindergarten through 12th grade). Mid-Missouri is defined as District IV (Central) of MMTA and includes the following counties: Audrain, Benton, Boone, Callaway, Camden, Chariton, Cole, Cooper, Gasconade, Howard, Maries, Miller, Moniteau, Monroe, Montgomery, , Morgan, Osage, Pettis, Phelps, Ralls, Randolph, Saline. [note: a few of you are getting this announcement for the first time since we defined the geographical area served by the Showcase.]
The revised instructions incorporating the above information and other modifications are attached; we have noted all the additions/changes in red.
The Committee will be reaching out to you in the next 10 days to address any questions that you have, any concerns you or the parents have, and obtain estimates of the number of participants. Thank you in advance for encouraging your students to participate in the 2020 Piano Student Showcase auditions.
