DISTRICT AUDITIONS (MMTA)
Best suited for your finest students, this competition requires students to play two pieces (preschool through
9th grade), or three pieces (10 grade through collegiate). Specific guidelines, entry forms, repertoire
categories and fee information are found in the Spring MMTA Notes magazine or on the state website (www.
missourimta.org). Students receiving a I District rating may proceed to the State MMTA Honors Auditions. The
MMTA Honors declares a winner, runner-up and honorable mentions and gives numerical ratings at the State
auditions. These auditions do not proceed beyond the state level, unlike the Baldwin, Selmer and Yamaha
national competitions. Students competing in the latter are not required to qualify at the District level.
All entrants and accompanists must abide by the federal copyright law. Photocopies are strongly discouraged.
Photocopies may not be made in order to avoid purchasing scores needed for performers, accompanists, or
adjudicators. A Music Release Form must be signed for any photocopies being used. All judge’s decisions are
final. Teachers, parents and students may not contact judges in person or in writing either before or after an
event.
- INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENTERING STUDENTS -
It's that time of year again and the August 23 deadline will be fast approaching. We have an amazing new form
for District Auditions and it's even easier than last year! You do not have to print, mail or fill out Form A or
judges' sheets. I will automatically have access to the information via online registrations. (Yippee!) All you
have to do is print the B form and send the check to Marlana Strasburg, 106 Counsel Circle, Lake St. Louis,
MO 63367. Remember that each entry is $29, make checks payable to MMTA, and we are in District 6.
Please see detailed website help below (including duet questions):
Yes, you can still do it the old way. However, all your forms are already done for you online and would save
you a lot of time and postage. Maybe you could have a student or parent help you. Kids are great at
computers.
If you have any questions, please email me, I check it several times a day. I'm not able to return phone calls
until after 10:00 pm, when the baby goes to sleep.
