THE NATIONAL GUILD OF PIANO TEACHERS ANNUAL AUDITIONS
The Piano Guild is a division of the American College of Musicians, founded in 1929. Their goal is to encourage and establish goals for students studying piano. These goals give students direction and provide a measurement of progress. Students prepare a pre-determined number of solo pieces with corresponding technical elements and perform them for a Guild-appointed judge who evaluates their performance. Upon successful completion of the audition, a report card is provided for each student along with a pin designating their level and category. The 2024 Piano Guild will be held at the Lutheran Redeemer Church in New Paltz - dates/times TBA. For more information on the Guild please contact the studio, or visit their website at www.pianoguild.com.
