1. The goal of this festival is to provide recognition to motivated students who can prepare for an evaluated audition, and who are confident enough to perform in public. It is open to students of voice, piano and all other instruments.

​

2. Students who intend to participate in CSMTA's Deborah Kahan Competition in January of 2023 are NOT eligible to perform in this event.

​

3. Three levels of awards will be given: Medal (1st), Blue ribbon (2nd), and Red ribbon (3rd).

​

4. For non-members, there is a one-time registration fee of $50 to participate. (This fee is the same regardless of how many students a teacher enters.)

​

5. The application fee is $45 per student of CSMTA Fairfield Chapter teachers, $55 for students of non-members.

​

6. Both the application fee and the registration fee should be combined in one check and made payable to Fairfield Chapter, CSMTA (Memo: 2023 Chapter Festival). There is no limit to the number of applicants per teacher.

​
