2026 Syllabus - Classical Guitar
Classes are grouped by levels for those performing classical pieces from the current RCM or CC syllabi.
Memorization is required, unless stated otherwise.
In instrumental classes, time will be allowed for a general tuning before classes begin. A fine tuning only, not to exceed TWO minutes is permitted before playing.
Neurodiverse participants requiring accommodations must contact the Festival Administrator directly admin@kiwanismusicfestival.net.
Participants must provide the adjudicator with an original copy of the music. Failure to do so will result in a "for adjudication only" performance.
SOLO SELECTIONS
Music is own choice, but only current RCM or CC syllabus pieces can be entered, except in 'NEfP' classes.
Participants must refer carefully to either the RCM or CC syllabus to determine how many and which movements of a selection are required (i.e. one mvt., two mvts., or complete).
Selections from the RCM Popular Selection list and the CC Contemporary Idioms lists are NOT permitted.
CONCERT GROUP CLASSES
Perform two contrasting pieces in your class.
Concert Group classes are NOT eligible for Provincial nomination as they only receive one (1) mark for two (2) pieces. However, one of your pieces may be used as your second piece at Provincials, if it meets the Provincial requirements.
AWARDS
Enter a minimum of two (2) classes in this discipline to be eligible for a Festival Award.
PROVINCIALS
Grade Levels 1 & up are eligible for recommendation to the OMFA Provincials.
While only ONE qualifying piece will be entered as the adjudicator's recommendation and must be performed at Provincials, participants MUST PERFORM TWO PIECES MATCHING THIS DISCIPLINE'S CRITERIA at Provincials.
Check Provincial rules at www.omfa.ca the Ontario Music Festival Association's website.
NEfP: Indicates classes that are NOT eligible for Provincial recommendation.
