Student musicians compete in divisions spanning Piano, Piano Duet, Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Voice, and Composition, performing prepared repertoire or submitting original works for evaluation by professional musicians and educators. State-level competitions serve as qualifying rounds for the national championship, where the most talented young musicians in the country compete on a prestigious stage. It is one of the most respected music competitions available to high school students and offers an exceptional opportunity to grow as a performer and earn national recognition.
