Composition
To encourage MMTA teachers to explore the process of music composition, and to expand the knowledge base they share with their students, each year MMTA holds a Teacher Original Duet Composition Contest. Winning compositions will be programmed at that year’s Honors Concert. See the Handbook for Criteria and Score Presentation Requirements.
