Students who register for this category will perform privately for a friendly and affirming judge who will provide immediate, helpful feedback on the spot. All students who participate in this category will receive an award for a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd ranking. We recommend that every student participates in this category.

Performance
All competitive performances in the Experience, Age, and Level Up categories will take place on the stage of the Harmony Hall Performance Venue in Novi, MI in front of one or two judges and a live audience. Students will be assigned a time for their category and will be called up to the stage one by one to perform, after which they will bow to applause! At the end of each category, the audience will be allowed to enter or leave the building as we prepare for the next category.
judges & Feedback
Professional and distinguished judges will be selected based on their professional performance and judging careers in their respective instruments. Judges for competitive events will provide written feedback and scores which are designed to be helpful for students. Students will be sent these feedback sheets at the end of the competition to review with their teachers. All judges’ decisions are final.
Awards
Awards will be given to students in the top 5 places in each category. Categories will vary in size based on instrument popularity and registration but will never be larger than 15 students. Categories will proceed as planned even if only one student registers for that category.
All students who participate in the Individual category will receive an award for 1st or 2nd ranking.
Individual category awards will be distributed by the judge at the end of each Individual performance. All other awards will be announced and handed out to students in an award’s ceremony at the end of the competition.
