Musical Selections:
All music performed at the Solo & Ensemble Festival must be listed in one of the sanctioned music lists, below. Each piece is graded by the level of difficulty.

Difficulty Level:
If you need to, please make a "best guess" as to the level at which your student(s) will be playing. It is acceptable if an occasional student changes his/her mind after registration and performs at a different level the day of the festival.

Selection(s) to be performed should conform to these time limitations*:
  • Levels 1-4 (B and C on Wisconsin, 2 & 3 on Texas) are 6 minute slots
  • Levels 5-6 (A on Wisconsin, 1 on Texas) are 8 minute slots
*NEW THIS YEAR: For the past several years, in order for students playing a level 5 or 6 (or Level A-Wisconsin list, or Level 1-Texas) selection to receive a "superior" rating, they needed to perform with accompaniment. Students no longer need an accompanist for a level 5 or 6 piece in order to receive a superior rating. However, in order to be considered for a performance in the RIMEA/RIAAE Honors Recital, students must provide live accompaniment or Smart Music, or some other recorded accompaniment, at the Solo & Ensemble audition. If nominated, there must be live accompaniment at the Recital. (This policy does not apply to pieces written as unaccompanied solos.)
