2026 Syllabus - Piano
Thank you for considering participating in the piano class of the St. Thomas Music Festival. Participants may select as many classes as they wish at their level or a level higher or lower. It is preferred that one selection be selected from List A or B while the second and additional selections can be from List A or B, C, D, a Study or from Contemporary or Popular categories. It is recommended all selections should be memorized except for Non-Competitive classes. We are delighted to offer classes from other method books; Contemporary and Popular classes, Own composition, duets, trios along with Non-Competitive classes for performers who love to play and appreciate feedback from a highly qualified adjudicator.
