The GMTA Pre-College Piano Auditions is the biggest competition for piano students in the state of Georgia. The first round of auditions begins at the local level before proceeding to the regional and state levels. Students must also pass the GMTA Theory Achievement Test or the GMTA Auditions Theory Examination (GATE) at the local level.
Students compete with peers in the same school grade. Although this is a highly competitive event, serious and prepared students usually do very well at the local level; many of our contestants often proceed to regionals. Participation is also an excellent performance opportunity and high school students may use it as a notable achievement to list on their college applications.
Repertoire must be memorized and consist of one Baroque or Classical piece and one Romantic or Contemporary piece. Only students in Grades 4 and higher may advance to the regional level. Students in Grade 12 may skip the local and regional levels and commence at the state level. CFMTA allows students in Grades 2-3 to perform for experience and for judge's comments, but must follow the same repertoire guideline.
The CFMTA Local Auditions event is set and regulated by GMTA.
