3. CAPMT Student Program Guidelines

Several festivals are offered by the chapter throughout the year. Each festival has specific themes and repertoire requirement; e.g. Pop Music Festival includes current pop tunes, movie themes, Disney tunes, Broadway musicals, jazz, rock, and blues, among others. Please check with the student’s teacher for more details. These festivals feature music students in a recital format where they perform in a friendly and non-competitive setting. These events may or may not be adjudicated. Selected students will have an opportunity to be invited to perform at the Annual Honors Recital and Gala sponsored by SDSC in May or June of each year.

San Diego South Chapter participates in the Piano Festivals and Ensemble Festivals which are state-sponsored events ( CAPMT) held in the fall. These events, however, are held locally where students are adjudicated and rated, with 5 being the highest. Students selected (obtained top score of 5) will be invited to perform and be featured at the Southern California Festival Celebrations hosted by CAPMT. The event takes place in winter.

Registration fees for the state, as well as some chapter events, vary by program and student level. Please check with the student’s teacher for further details.

Competitions are offered at the chapter as well as state and national levels.
Chapter competition events offered by SDSC: Young Artists Competition, San Diego Young Protege Music Competition, and Concerto Competition. Students compete by age category, instrument division or by ability levels.

State Competition Events: Honors Competition, Contemporary Competition, Concerto Competition

4. Consent forms and waiver forms must be submitted online by every participating student.

5. All decisions and rulings by the adjudicators are final.
