Student Composition Contest

​

Composition is an important part of our teaching at NSMS. Each year, we hold a themed composition contest. Students submit a video/audio recording of their composition, and then winners are selected for each level. The winners then have the opportunity to perform their compositions on our Student Recital Series in May.

Our 2022 Contest Is Now Open!

This year's theme is Musical Styles. 

Some possible titles might be:

​

Minuet in the style of Bach

Sonata in the style of Beethoven

Waltz in the style of Chopin

Misty Evening in the style of Debussy
