Certificate of Merit State Honors Recital

Chairperson: Susan Miyamoto
Date: TBD

Video submission deadline to Susan Miyamoto: TBD

Videos must be uploaded to YouTube first. Teachers will submit videos using the Musicale registration form and provide the YouTube link on the form. Do not make the video “for children” as we won’t be able to use the link.

Teachers will receive a link to the recitals before the program along with a program to email to students.

State Honors Recital participants must meet the following criteria:
All students are automatically enrolled for consideration for State Honors, and CM Evaluation enrollment suffices for consideration without an additional application checkbox in the Online System.

To Receive State Honors, students must:

• Pass both the Performance Evaluation and Written Theory Test for their enrolled CM Level that year.
• Receive a “Good” or “Excellent” rating for Technique, Sight Reading/Singing, and Repertoire.
• Receive at least 80% or above on the theory test for their enrolled CM Level
  that year.
