About
The CMA Young Musician Competition is a celebration of performance and musicianship at all levels, which encourages commitment and rewards excellence. Participants gain invaluable performance experience and benefit from feedback from a team of experienced adjudicators.
For the first time ever we are very excited to announce the launch of a dedicated track of our Young Musician Competition for our Rock and Pop Students. This track will take place in November 2024 and will give the students the best opportunity to showcase their talents!
There are two rounds to the competition; the Class Heats, followed by four Level Awards. The Class Heats are open to all ages and abilities and are as inclusive as possible because we believe that music is for everyone and it’s never too early to start performing. All entrants will receive written feedback from a respected adjudicator and a certificate of participation. The top performances from each Class Heat will be given a gold award (silver and bronze awards may also be awarded at the adjudicator's discretion). The gold winners will progress to compete for the overall Level Award.
The Level Awards Final takes place before a panel of judges, with the winner taking home the CMA Young Musician Trophy. Note that the competition is open to students who have a lessons with a CMA Specialist at our Centre of in one of our partner schools.
