- The awards may be picked up at the “In-Person” State Achievement (University of Oklahoma, May 20-21, 2022), or a certificate will be made available via download. Award preference will be requested on the E-Achievement Video Submission Form and is not subject to change.
- The OMTA rating system: I+, I, I-, II, III, and IV
- The quality of the performance determines the rating, rather than the length or difficulty. Adjudicators will be guided in their remarks by the following applicable considerations:
- Interpretation: style, tempo, dynamic control, phrasing
- Technique: rhythmic and note accuracy, articulation, intonation, tone
- Memorization
- Stage presence
- Artistic maturity
- The student is responsible for playing the entire piece at the discretion of the adjudicator.
- The decision of the adjudicator is final. It may not be questioned by the teacher, student, or parent.
- Students in the Solo Division and the Merit Division receiving a I+ or I rating will receive a medal (pick-up) or certificate (downloadable) and will advance to the E-State Achievement Audition.
- Students in the Solo Division and the Merit Division receiving a I- rating will not receive a medal or certificate but will advance to the E-State Achievement Audition. Merit Division students will perform the E-District Achievement Audition composition at the E-State Achievement Audition and will be moved to the Solo Division category.
- If a student does not qualify for the E-State Achievement Audition (rating of II or lower at the E-District Achievement Audition), it is the responsibility of the teacher to submit a refund request before April 30, 2022. CLICK HERE for the refund request form.
