​IMTA Piano Festival:

The Festival is held in December and January, usually in private studios for the purpose of promoting confident performance. This event is a non-competitive, non-rated performance before a state certified adjudicator who conducts the session as a lesson. It gives students of all ages and abilities an opportunity to perform and receive written or oral constructive suggestions and tips from the judge. 
  • Registration fees are due at the registration deadline.
  • ​Festival is not a competition, so there are no age limits or previous study requirements.
  • ​Entrants will play one or more selections from the current IMTA Syllabus, and may also perform one selection not on the list (including original compositions).
  • ​All selections must be from memory, and a copy of each selection (with music measures numbered) must be given to the judge.  No reproductions of copyrighted music may be used.
  • There are no theory or keyboard proficiency test.
  • For more information see the Festivals tab on the IAMTA.org website.

IMTA District Piano Auditions:
Students of DMMTA members may participate in District Auditions, IMTA-sponsored competitive events which rates performances on a scale of 1–4 (one being highest). This event takes place in December or January.
