The three-tiered competitions begin with state competitions. The winners of each state’s competitions advance to a regional division competition. Division winners compete in the national finals at the annual MTNA National Conference. SDMTA is an affiliate of Music Teachers National Association. SDMTA competitions provide opportunities for musical growth for member teachers and their students through recognition of high performance standards. The SDMTA competition is separate from the MTNA competition, but they are held concurrently at the state conference. December 17, 2019 • Page 9 HERE’S myCARD! imagine...
