What are the age limits and/or restrictions?
Students can audition on as many duets as they can learn but only within the same level. (i.e. students from group B2 cannot also audition on pieces from B1).
Students must be at least 6 years of age to participate in Group A1 and must be at least 13 years of age to participate in Group C. There are no other age restrictions.
Can a teacher choose whether or not to work on Audition Day? No! Every teacher who has students registered to participate in MPF is required to work on Audition Day. The auditions coordinator will assign where/when you work. Can a teacher choose which additional jobs to do? He/she must accept two additional jobs but has some choice based on his/her particular area of expertise.
I cannot remember which MPF job I signed up for at the September meeting. Where can I find out that information? All MPF information will be posted on the personal website of at least one of the Multiple Piano Festival chairs. Those web addresses are: https://sites.google.com/site/carolwickhamrevierpianostudio/ and www.lauraboniek.com
I was assigned a job for MPF that I have never had before and have no idea how to do. Please help!
We will try our best to assign jobs to people who have had them in the past so that they are familiar with how it’s done. We will be posting instructions for all of the quirky MPF jobs, like cashier, rehearsal monitor/manager etc., online. We will also be putting experienced BAMTA members in charge of each specific job group. Please look online for instructions or ask the coordinator of your specific job’s group for help.
I was unable to make one of the BAMTA meetings so now I don’t know any of the latest MPF information. How do I find this out?
We will be posting all MPF information/changes/updates on our websites. Please check there first before emailing or calling with a question. (If you email or call with a question that can be found on the websites, you will not receive a response!)
My student’s family is going on a vacation that they’ve had scheduled for a long time and will miss Audition Day. What can I do?
Please check with the conductor of the specific group your student will be in and ask if he/she will allow a video taped audition.
I am a conductor and need to know from where I will be getting my conductor’s score?
All conductors provide their own scores.
