Tenth Annual SJMTA Technique Competition and Theory Test Sunday, January 15, 2017
As the ultimate goal of piano lessons is to enable students to express their musical understanding through secure
technique, SJMTA holds an annual technique competition aimed at enhancing, developing and mastering piano
technique.
Place: Jacobs Music, Cherry Hill NJ.
Time: 12pm – 5:30pm
Competition Schedule
Students will be provided with their exact performance times well in advance of the Competition. All
participants should be on the premises at least 15 minutes prior to start time.
At the conclusion of performances in each category, winners will be announced for that category as soon as the
scores are calculated. Certificates and Trophies will be given to the teachers at a later date.
Required Repertoire
There will be 11 levels of competition, from Elementary through Collegiate. For each level, there will be
one designated scale,
one arpeggio, and
one required étude, featuring the same technical challenge for all levels.
Please see page 14 for listing of required repertoire.
Theory test SJMTA is supplementing the Technique Competition with an optional theory test based on Keith Snell’s
Fundamentals of Piano Theory. The test fee is included in the $20 fee for the Technique Competition, and it can
be taken while students are waiting to perform. This year SJMTA is offering the preparatory level, level one, level
two, level three, level four and level five. We recommend enrolling students one grade level below the theory
level at which they are currently working. Students may also take the Theory Test only, without participating in
the Technique Competition, for a fee of $10.
Volunteers
Six to eight teachers will be needed to monitor the competition; each will be assigned to a particular room.
Monitors are asked to remain at their assigned doors during the competition.
We will also need two volunteers for the registration desk and 2-3 for each level in the scoring room.
If you cannot volunteer your time, we will require a “duty deposit” of $50 from you to hire extra monitors.
Deadline: December 15, 2016
Application:
Application fee: $20 and includes the option to take the Theory Test as well.
To take the Theory Test alone, a $10 fee is required.
No limit to the number of applicants from each studio.
Each applicant is limited to ONE level.
Dress code: Please dress appropriately (no sports clothes, jeans, sandals or sneakers).
Please send the competition and theory test application forms with fees (one teacher’s check paid to SJMTA for
