Student composers have the opportunity to create and notate a piece with their supervising TVOMTA teacher. Open to students of all levels, styles, and instrumentation, each piece is critiqued by an area composer with useful feedback to improve the composition. When the Composition Celebration is over, all participants will have the opportunity to have their musical piece published in a bound book with all other entries. This is a great way to have a memento of each student's hard work! These will be available for purchase through the Composition Chair. A few Honored Composers from every level are chosen to perform their piece, or submit a recording, at the State Composition Recital.
