​Oregon ASTA

Oregon ASTA sponsors Showcase Recital to give a wide range of students from all over the state a chance to perform. Students of any age and level may apply, providing they study with a member of ASTA or are members themselves. Teachers are each limited to four students from their studio. We are interested in crafting a concert with all ages and levels, not just the most advanced. A maximum of two students from each teacher will be chosen to perform. Teachers are asked to submit a recommendation for each student applying. 

Applicants will be judged by how polished they are, not by book level. Judges will evaluate intonation, rhythm, technique, artistry, and tone quality. Memorization is not required, but a memorized performance may be considered more polished. There is no fee for entering or attending the recital. Showcase Recital performers will be selected from video recordings of the piece they wish to play and will be notified of acceptance by March 15th. Accompanists are recommended but not required for the video; for the recital pieces with piano accompaniment must have a pianist.

RECOMMENDATIONS
