General Information
The
purposes of the Music Teachers National Association
performance competitions are to provide educational
experiences for students and teachers and to recognize
exceptionally talented young artists and their teachers in
their pursuit of musical excellence. The Pennsylvania state
competition is the first level of the MTNA performance
competitions and all state competitions are considered the
primary educational level. Applications for all categories
and levels must be submitted online at
www.mtna.org prior to the September 9, 2008 deadline.
The 2008 PMTA/MTNA competitions will take place on Friday, November
7 at Mansfield University in conjunction with the PMTA
Conference. All competitions will take place in the
music building.
All levels of piano competitions will begin early in the

winners’ recital which generally takes place at 4pm. Other
instrumental and vocal categories may begin later in the
day. Winners are expected to participate in the recital.
