For example, if a student is 9 years of age and playing Grade 2 pieces or higher, he/she may NOT enter the graded section but must enter "age classes". The student may not play below the grade studied in January of the Festival year. Senior students who have obtained their Associate examination or equivalent MUST enter the OPEN classes. Teachers, please note that the age of each student must be correctly entered on the Entry Form. Students who enter the Graded Piano Solos and Studies and Concertos (Section 24) may not enter any other piano solo classes. However, the students may also enter Duet, Duo, Trio, Technique, Sight Reading, Popular and Non-Competitive classes.
