2024 MTSA Honors Recital Nominations

Teachers: Nominate your students!

The MTSA Honors Recital features our most committed and diligent students and will be held at St. Cecilia Academy on February 4, 2024. Each MTSA teacher may nominate two students to perform on the recital. Teachers submit their nominations by registering for this event.

Teachers should nominate committed students who practice consistently and work hard for high achievement: please nominate one less experienced student (beginner/intermediate) and one more experienced student (intermediate/advanced), as appropriate to your studio.

Nominations will be accepted through (NOW EXTENDED!) January 20, 2024.

• Nominated students must be from families with an Associate or Teacher membership to the MTSA.

• Teachers must include full details of the pieces to be performed by the nominated students at the time of registration.

• Nominating teacher and nominated students' families must both have an active membership (teacher or associate) as of January 12th for nominations to be accepted.

Honors Recital Details

The MTSA Honors Recital Committee will confirm participants in the Honors Recital with all students and teachers on or before January 19th, 2024.

A reception will follow the recital. Out of respect for all performers, students and parents should plan to stay for the entire recital and enjoy the food and camaraderie afterwards! 

Collaborative Pianist

Students performing works with piano will perform with an MTSA-arranged pianist, free of charge, and also attend a mandatory rehearsal with the pianist at the St. Cecilia Academy on the afternoon/evening of Friday, February 2nd, 2024.

Exceptions will only be made for students living out-of-state or substantial distances from Nashville

If a student cannot attend the Friday rehearsal, the parent or student must arrange an alternate rehearsal with the MTSA-provided pianist on or before February 3rd, 2024, and pay them for their additional time.
