Sponsored by Michibago Music Teachers Association
Saturday, November 23, 2019
Sponsored by Michibago Music Teachers Association
Deadline for Entry: October 18, 2019 (postmarked)
Performance Divisions:
- All Performance Divisions will be based on grade and will be determined after registration, contingent on enrollment.
Eligibility:
- Any student (Kindergarten – Adult) of a member of the Michibago Music Teachers Association, may participate and be entered at the standard entry fee. Ensembles must have at least one member who is a student of a MMTA teacher to be eligible.
- If a potential participant does not study with a MMTA teacher, a $25 teacher fee must be paid, along with the regular student entry fee. This teacher fee allows the teacher to enter as many of his/her students as he/she wishes.
- Teachers may participate as accompanists or ensemble participants; however, there is no solo category for a teacher who has already graduated from college.
Repertoire:
- Any Sonatina, Sonata, Lessons, Divertimenti written in any time period, one or more movements, for a total of not more than 7 minutes.
- A list of suggested repertoire will be listed on the MMTA team Google Drive.
- Arrangements and transcriptions are allowed.
- Any instrument, either accompanied or unaccompanied, either solo, duet or ensemble.
- Memorization is encouraged but not required.
- All performers must bring an original score for the adjudicator, with each measure numbered. If music is not memorized, a second original score must be used by the performer.
- Photocopies may be used for performance or to help with page turns, as long as the original score is also present.
- One instrument accompanying the other should be classified as a solo, not a duet or ensemble
Entry fee:
- $15.00 per solo, duet or ensemble. Fee(s) for each event entered (solo, ensemble) should be paid to the teacher, who will submit all studio applications together with one check covering the entry fees of each student.
- Students may enter one solo with each instrument they study. They may also enter one duet with each instrument, plus one ensemble. (If there is a question about this, contact the chair.)
Applications:
- To submit online entries, please go to the MMTA team Google Drive. In the Fall Festival folder you will find a Registration spreadsheet where you may enter the information for each student.
- Mail one check covering the entry fees of all events to Louise Mann, MMTA Treasurer, W7118 County Road U, Plymouth WI 53073, with a list of the entry names
- Paper entries can be mailed to Kristin Casper, 728 Indian Mound Rd, Sheboygan, 53081, if on-line registration is not available.
Location:
- Lakeland University, located west of Howards Grove, on County M, a quarter mile north of County A
- Registration will be in the Verhulst Building. Warm up rooms will also be available in Verhulst.
- Exact times and locations will be announced after all applications have been received.
- Because students perform by age groups, time requests cannot be honored.
- Performance rooms will be in the Verhulst Building and Bradley Auditorium.
- The Recital will take place in the Bradley Auditorium.
Attire:
- Participants should wear semi-formal attire, as is appropriate for a performance.
- Please, no athletic wear, excessively high heels, boots, shorts, jeans with holes.
- Please, dress modestly.
Format of the Festival:
- Students are required to attend a 20-30 minute period of time, or until all Division participants have played.
- A group of students will enter the performance room and stay for that period of time, listening to others play and playing their piece at the appointed time.
- If a student is needed to play in another room during that time, arrangements will be made for the student to leave. There will be a room monitor and a teacher in the performance room to handle logistics.
- A suggestion box will be available at the registration desk.
- Results will continue to be posted at the end of each Division’s performances.
- Each participant will be adjudicated by a qualified professional.
- The Honors Recital will be held at the end of the day in the Bradley Fine Arts Building (exact time to be announced).
- Competition rooms are open to the public (although space may be limited), as well as the Honors Recital.
- All first and second place winners will play in the Honors Recital at the end of the day. If a student cannot attend the Honors Recital, he/she may not be named a first or second place winner. This should be notated on the registration form.
- In divisions with a small number of entrants, the judge is not required to designate a winner.
- Results will be posted after each category is finished.
- All decisions of the judge are final and to be accepted with good sportsmanship.
- All participants will receive a certificate of participation and winners, 2nd place, and honorable mentions will receive award seals.

Information gleaned from Dr. Taylor –
Sonata/Sonatina/Divertimenti/Lessons – Used all of these titles, meaning these were all essentially teaching pieces, not necessarily meant for performance at that time, but meant for skill/technical development, written beginning even in the Baroque period, but came to more popularity in the Classical period due to the use of the Pianoforte.
Classical Composers
-Hadyn, Mozart, Vanhal, Hook, Turk, Attwood, Spindler, Gurlitt, Reinecke, Lichner, Lynes, Benda, Clementi, Dussek, Kuhlau, Diabelli, Beethoven
