Music

Each year, Maricopa Community Colleges sponsor a districtwide student competition to encourage and recognize music students in the following categories:

  • Composition
  • Guitar Solo
  • Piano Solo
  • Instrumental Solo (other than guitar or piano)
  • Instrumental Ensemble
  • Jazz Instrumental Ensemble
  • Vocal Solo - Classical (female and male)
  • Vocal Solo - Music Theatre (female and male)

Music composition adjudication will be online.  Music instrumental and music vocal adjudication will be in-person and by appointment.  We will do our best to accommodate scheduling needs for the music instrumental and vocal competitions but cannot guarantee all requests will be met due to time constraints. Please include scheduling needs in your submission.

All awards will be issued via the U.S. Mail shortly after the Artists of Promise.  $300 for first place; $200 for second place; $100 for third place.  Ensembles will share winning.
