Many Charlotte Academy of Music piano students participate annually in the North Carolina Music Teachers Association (NCMTA) Piano Contest. In 2015, CAM was proud to have 10 State Finalists, including 7 State Winners.
Participating students must perform a piece from each of the three musical periods (I, II, and III). At least two of the compositions a student plays must be from the level at which the student is entering. The third composition may be from an adjacent level, either above or below. Only students entering at level Junior B and higher are eligible to advance onto the State level. The purpose of the NCMTA Piano Contest is as follows:
- To provide students and teachers a means of receiving constructive criticism by competent judges.
- To stimulate and to recognize constant growth.
- To provide students and teachers a means of hearing the work done by others.
As a resource for teachers, parents and students, we have included several links which we hope will prove helpful.
