Current as of March 15, 2012
Here is a link to the application form for the YAAA competition scheduled
for Saturday, May 5, 2012 at the Blair School of Music. Specific
locations (rooms) will be announced at a later time.
Judges will select winners for specific age groups and then there
will be a Winners Concert the SAME day at 4:00 pm.
Click the link below to go to the YAAA application form. The deadline
for submitting the application form is 11:00 pm March 24, 2012.
Only TEACHERS may submit the form, NOT parents or students.
If you have questions, please contact Debra Nelson (phone # in current
NAMTA Directory). Only students who received a SUPERIOR rating at
the Performance Auditions can apply.
The application fee is $15.00 per student. Teachers should collect
fees for all their students who will apply for the YAAA Competition
and then mail ONE CHECK to Debra Nelson, 6004 Stillmeadow Drive, Nashville,
TN 37211-6516.
Please NOTE: We are suspending for this one time,
the rule that a previous winner in their category can not participate
until they are in another age/grade category. Because of the fact
that YAAA comes during the same school year that YAAA happened in
October 2011, this creates a special set of circumstances. There will
be only one piano judge and one string judge this year, who will then
judge the Winners' Concert.
