Every year, the Music Teachers National Association promotes a national music competition. The State winners/representatives will advance to the Southern Division online-only video competitions with winners/representatives of other states in the region. The winners of the Southern Division competition will go on and compete at the National level.
The application must be completed and submitted online by 3:00 PM EASTERN TIME, September 13th, 2023.
Information and entry forms for all MTNA competitions are available on the MTNA website.
The MTNA Competitions will be held at Campbellsville University on November 11-12, 2023.
Rules, requirements, procedures, membership fees, entry fees, and dates for the MTNA performance competitions change annually and are published on KMTA’s website. It is, therefore, the responsibility of teachers and entrants to follow the guidelines pertaining to the competitions as published online and in the April 2023 issue of the American Music Teacher magazine to ensure eligibility and avoid disqualification. Be sure to observe carefully:
- Teacher membership dues and entrant entry fee
- Repertoire requirements, competition music, reproduction of music, accompanists
- Application procedure, signatures, and dates
- Contact the KMTA/MTNA Competitions chair if you have questions.
