MMTA 2020 Fall Auditions Information
 
Dear MMTA Membership,
 
Please see the Auditions Handbook (click link above) for details regarding our 2020 MMTA and MTNA auditions. Since the Missouri competitions are all by video submission, there are some significant changes. Here is a quick overview:
 
– Videos will be submitted online via YouTube
– Contestants will be anonymous (by name) and will submit videos via an assigned competitor number provided after registration
– Judges will be instructed to assess the quality of musicianship displayed, rather than recording and instrument quality
– The choice of using accompaniment (in repertoire that normally includes it) is not required and is at the discretion of the competitor/teacher. A pre-recorded or online accompaniment can be substituted in place of live accompaniment
– Musical scores (hard copy or electronic) are not required for either MMTA or MTNA this year due to copyright law. It would be good to keep an original copy on hand, in the rare instance that a judge might request it for a more obscure or unknown work
– MMTA competitor fees have been reduced to $25/entry for both District and State this year. The MMTA Teacher Fee has also been suspended since there are no live auditions
– Repertoire requirements for all categories (including memorization, when applicable) remain the same as in past years. Please refer to the Handbook regarding guidelines on maximum video length
 
Registration for MTNA is still via www.mtna.org and should open soon. 
 
Look for another email within the next week regarding the opening of registration for MMTA District Auditions. Like last year, registration for MMTA will be via www.missourimta.org 
 
More details on registration as well as how to submit videos will be provided at that time.
 
Sincerely,
Kyu Butler and Jason Hausback
MMTA Co-VP Auditions
