The New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Solo and Small Ensemble Festival
Every year, NYSSMA holds this festival to encourage young musicians to study and enjoy music. This experience is of immeasurable value in the development of students as performers. Participation in this festival offers students an opportunity to perform a solo piece, which will be evaluated by a certified NYSSMA Adjudicator.
Each student will be evaluated in three areas during a 10-15 minute time slot: a solo piece prepared by the student, scales and sight-reading music. The Evaluation Festival usually takes place sometime
between March and June.
We would like to offer this opportunity to students who are currently enrolled in the Band program. Participating in this festival may also include attending extra help sessions with the music teacher, which will be scheduled at a later date. Vocal and piano students are welcome to attend if they are studying with a private teacher.
