OVERVIEW: The OMTA Sonata & Sonatina Festival gives students of high school age and younger the opportunity to compete with other students by performing before a judge in a private audition and receive a written evaluation of their performance. The judge will choose up to two students from each level to perform in the Honors Recital later in the day to compete for first and second place. The Honors Recital is open to the public. The festival encompasses ten levels, each of which is represented by one Sonatina or Sonata Movement selected from various composers and levels of difficulty. The festival repertoire levels correlate to OMTA syllabus levels and are published each year by the end of January.
