Repertoire Requirements

• Students may play up to 5 minutes in length.
• Each teacher is limited to a total of 20 minutes of student performance time.
• Students should have studied for at least one year and/or repertoire should be at least early to mid-elementary level/Guild EB.
• Pieces should be at least 16 measures long.
• If there is an open space or a last minute cancellation the chairperson may contact teachers to bring additional students.
• Instruments besides piano are welcome. 
• Duets are welcome.
• Adults welcome.
• Teachers are welcome to attend.

Performance Guidelines

• Teachers decide whether students’ pieces are performance ready. This means that playing should be accurate, pieces well prepared and “polished” in order to represent OMTA well in a public setting.
• Teachers may instruct students how to walk to the piano, perform, and bow afterwards.
• Memorization is encouraged but not required.
• Since this is not a recital, nearby seats are reserved for the “audiences” rather than family.

Registration Deadline
Wednesday before the Sunday of each performance.

How to Register
Registration by email to co-chair in charge of each event must come from the teacher. Please include your name, each student’s name and age, level (beginner to advanced) and the piece(s) title, composer and total time length. Please encourage parents to fill out the Student Image Permission Form – link below. Student’s picture cannot be included without parental permission. This is required only once each school year.
