2022-23 Probationary Judges List
Probationary Judge’s Evaluation Form
The purpose of the Iowa Music Teachers Association Pre-College Piano Festivals is the promotion of confident performance. The Festivals provide a performance opportunity in which the student or teacher may demonstrate his/her performance ability and receive written or oral assistance from the judge.
Participants in piano festivals must be either teachers or students of teachers holding membership in IMTA/MTNA by SEPTEMBER 1 of the year in which the students are to participate. You must be a current member of IMTA to participate in non-competitive events. Non-members are ineligible to enter students. Since this is not a competition, there are no age limits or previous study requirements.
Performers have the choice of playing in an “open session” where anyone is free to listen or in a “closed session” where only the judge and persons invited by the performer will be present.
