Now is the time of year to start thinking about NYSSMA. NYSSMA stands for New York State School Music Association, which runs a statewide solo and small ensemble festival every year. The festival occurs between March and June. The specific date or dates depend on the region you reside in and/or the school district your child attends.
Starting in first grade, students may prepare one (or more, depending on level requirements) pieces to perform in front of a judge, and receive a score either out of 28 (levels I through IV) or 100 (levels V and VI). As you can see, there are six levels, and your String Sounds instructor can assess which level is appropriate. Regardless of level, pieces must be chosen from a list presented in the NYSSMA manual (current edition: XXIX). Your child’s school music program should own a copy of this manual, and we also have a copy here at the studio. Students must also prepare scales for each level, and must perform sightreading in the judging. Your instructor should be aware of these requirements, and can prepare their students accordingly.
Participation is not mandatory, but we recommend it as it helps assess students’ skill levels, gives them experience playing for others, and encourages good musicianship. In order to participate, students MUST get forms from their school. Ask your child’s school music teacher or check the school’s website.
If you have any questions regarding NYSSMA, please ask your instructor, call the office 631-476-8946, or visit the official website, nyssma.org for more information.
