Children's Instrumental Music Competition. New Zealand.

Children's Instrumental Music Competition. New Zealand. As a passionate music educator ( piano teacher, youth and community orchestra founder and conductor ) I have decided to create an online music competition for young New Zealand musicians. Tentatively this competition will be called "NOTABLE" My hope is that this will, not only bring hidden talent out into the open, but will also inspire and encourage children throughout New Zealand to take up a musical instrument. There are two age categories: 7 - 12 and 13 - 17. The winner of each category will receive $350. Runners up will receive music shop vouchers or cash up to the value of $150. Applicants should submit a video (phone camera is fine) of themselves playing and from these entries 12 semifinalists and ultimately 6 finalists will be chosen. The semifinal will be streamed near the end of June and the final near the end of July. (precise dates still to be decided). Both of these will take the form of an online conference with a panel of judges who will view and comment on the performances. The emphasis will be on positive encouragement. • professional quality videos are NOT required. Musical talent can shine through less than perfect technology. • please prepare two pieces up to 5 minutes long. A second submitted video will be required should you reach the finals • pieces can be on any instrument and in any style e.g. classical, classical crossover, jazz etc but must exist in written form, using standard notation. The music score must be submitted along with the video entry and can be in the form of a scan or a photo. • please also include a short biography (I am keen to hear interesting backstories!) • there is NO entry fee • entries should be downloaded into GoogleDrive or Dropbox (or any other platform capable of exporting large files e.g. youtube or i-cloud) and sent to joelbolton61@gmail.com by 20th June, 2020. • the competition will only proceed if there is a sufficient number of entries • only one entry per person • judges' decisions will be final You are welcome to call me if you have any questions.
