Application Instructions
To all teachers: these rules are the result of decisions made by the Board of Directors concerning our Showcase Recitals. It is the teachers’ responsibility to read and follow these instructions, and to relay the appropriate information to their students and parents. These recitals are sponsored by MTAC-SFWV for the students of our members. Teachers are welcome to enter well-prepared students playing performance-ready repertoire of any level.
1. Showcase Recitals are open to students of all ages, including adults, and any level.
2. Students may perform on any instrument for which the teacher is approved by MTAC.
3. The number of students per teacher may be limited depending on programming constraints.
4. Entry forms must be printed, filled out, and sent to the Recital Chair, along with a check for the fees.. Opus, K, L, BWV numbers to identify the piece must be included on the entry form. Precise performance time is required for each piece entered.
5. Any special requests (i.e. special needs, time request, siblings, etc.) should be explained and written on the entry form. Time requests should only be made for urgent, legitimate reasons. Teachers should realize there is no guarantee the committee can honor all special requests, and therefore should not promise their students a specific time until the programming is complete, and the teachers have been notified of the performance times.
6. The entry fee is $15 per solo student, $15 per ensemble, $10 per solo student with an accompanist.
7. Deadline for entries is listed in the calendar and monthly newsletter and is15 days prior to recital. No changes or special requests in programming or listings may be made after the deadline. Please do not ask for exceptions.
8. All solo pieces must be memorized. Memorization is optional for winds and ensembles.
9. The Showcase Recital Chair and Committee will assign student performance times and inform the teacher of said times.
