NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) is an annual music festival that allows students the opportunity to advance their musical abilities by learning a solo piece and performing it for a NYSSMA adjudicator.
NYSSMA is a wonderful experience that students can participate in each year. Voice students are required to prepare and perform a solo, from memory, and sight-sing a short musical selection. The adjudicator (or “judge”) will provide valuable feedback that will help the student grow musically. The grades and comments students receive will possibly enhance their opportunities to participate in future area and statewide music festivals.
