The Mississippi Music Teachers Association (MMTA), an affiliate of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), strives to further the art of music; and to promote the growth and professional development of its members by providing programs that encourage and support teaching, performance, composition and research.  It is not-for-profit organization, within the meaning of Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, whose funds are used solely to accomplish these objectives.  The Pre-college Evaluations are a state-wide event that helps to further the mission of MMTA.

MMTA Pre-college Evaluations Chair: Victoria Johnson (601) 320-2121, victoria.johnson@jcjc.edu

• Students who play brass, woodwind, guitar, piano, strings, and voice may enter these evaluations. 

• Link to the MMTA website student activities page: https://msmusicteachers.org/competitions-precollege-auditions.php

• There are several categories including: Performance, Technic, Sight Reading, Written Theory, Ensemble, and more. 

2025 Updates to the Pre-College Evaluations information:

1. We will use Tenutoweb to judge performance and sight-reading. After Evaluations, teachers will have access to the rating sheets in Tenutoweb and will be able to print them out for their students.

2. Theory will be taken with pencil and paper, and the MMTA Chair will print the tests, as usual. 

3. Technical Skills will be judged with hard copies:

So, teachers will need to complete and print technique sheets (from the MMTA website) for each of their students and get them to me by Mar. 1st.  Just text me (601-320-2121) when you have them ready, and we'll arrange a time to meet.

4. Payment will be made while registering entries on Tenutoweb -- via PayPal, either with a credit card or a PayPal account.
