Piano FestivalsBrief Overview
Piano Festivals provide an opportunity for piano students of all ages, including college students and adult students, to perform solo and accompanied music. This event is designed to encourage and motivate students through the evaluation of prepared solo and accompanied literature from the CAPMT Piano Festivals Repertoire List or Royal Conservatory of Music Syllabus. Students are rated 1–5 (5 being the best), with those receiving a 5 being invited (but not required) to perform at the CAPMT Festival Celebrations.

Levels 1–3: $45
Levels 4–6: $55
Levels 7–10: $70
Surcharge for students of Non-CAPMT Members: $40
In order to keep fees affordable for students, teachers must be able to volunteer for in-person Festivals -- preferably on the day of the event, or in some cases, remotely in other administrative tasks. If unable to volunteer, please consider virtual Festivals where volunteering is not needed.
Please read the current CAPMT Student Program Guidelines above. Deviation from these rules may result in disqualification.
