NYSSMA
The New York State School Music Association
The Mission of the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) is to advocate for and
improve music education across New York State by promoting and producing
appropriate activities and programs for its membership and students
in member school music programs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every year (IN THE Winter/Spring), students are able to prepare a solo to perform in the NYSSMA festival, should they so choose.
NYSSMA is an opportunity for students to prepare a solo or small group piece and receive comments from a music judge about their performance. Participation is optional.
A student's NYSSMA score will count as his/her All County audition for the following school year. For example, if your child is in sixth grade, his/her NYSSMA score from spring of sixth grade will count as his/her All County audition for seventh grade.
NYSSMA info will be shared with students in class, emailed home, and posted on Schoology.
