2026 Syllabus - Guitar Ensembles
POPULAR Guitar Duets & Trios are grouped by AGE for those performing popular/contemporary style pieces.
CLASSICAL Guitar Duets & Trios are grouped by LEVEL for those performing classical style pieces.
SMALL ENSEMBLES are for groups of 4-15 and can contain a combination of voice & instruments, with guitar being prominent. ((Chamber repertoire is not allowed in this category.))
Memorization is optional, but strongly encouraged.
Participants must provide the adjudicator with an original copy of the music chosen. Failure to do so will result in a "for adjudication only" performance.
DUETS & TRIOS:
Popular Duets & Trios: Competitors must enter the class that matches the oldest competitor's age.
Classical Duets & Trios: Enter the class of the highest level in the group.
'Adult' is defined as anyone age 19 or older.
'Teacher' is defined as anyone who is a music teacher (this would include parents/grandparents, etc. if they are teachers).
SMALL ENSEMBLES (4-15 participants):

Small Ensembles can use a combination of voice and instruments. (Chamber repertoire is NOT allowed. If playing chamber repertoire, enter the Chamber Group classes.)
The GUITAR SMALL ENSEMBLE classes will be adjudicated by the GUITAR ADJUDICATOR, so the pieces should be guitar prominent.
