MMAMTA: Pre-September 2020 Newsletter

Pre-September Newsletter

Hello,

A friendly reminder that the MMTA District Audition Registration is due (with $25 auditions fee) on Sept 6 this year. All MTNA and MMTA dates are listed below.

3 Steps to enter your students:

Complete the Registration Form online: https://forms.gle/5raYWTukXyGEfGEq8
Pay District audition fees at https://missourimta.org/district-auditions-payment/
Watch Tutorial Video (14:30) : https://youtu.be/h1807y1iFGE

When you title your video, you may consider listing the edition of the music book from which your student has learned the piece. For example, there are several versions of Chopin C-sharp minor nocturne where the notations vary greatly. After labeling the piece or the song, you may want to note the edition you used to teach in (parentheses).

Good luck!
