Sonata/Sonatina Festival

​Entry Fee: $40
In this competitive festival, students perform a movement from a Sonatina or Sonata (the first or final movement only) and another piece from a contrasting style period (as defined by the CM Piano Syllabus). All pieces must be memorized. There are 3 divisions, each with their own time limits:

     Elementary (K-grade 4)– 5 minute time limit

     Intermediate (grades 5-7)– 7 minute time limit

     Senior (grades 8-12)– 9 minute time limit

All students receive certificates and evaluations from three judges. Trophies are awarded to the first, second, and third place winners in each category, and medals will be awarded to any honorable mentions, at the judges’ discretion. First-pace winners are invited to perform at the annual Installation Potluck.​​
