Dear Florida ASTA members, parents and students:
The 2008 Florida Chapter of the ASTA Solo Competition will take place in October. The competition this year will consist of a recorded tape round only. The winning recordings will be sent to represent Florida at the National Semi-Final round.
2007 National Solo Competition finalist Brett Gardner with his teacher, John Parris, and former student Ben Pila
Selected contestants from the National Semi-Final round will compete live for awards and prizes at the final round, which will take place during the ASTA National Conference in Atlanta, GA from March 19–23, 2009. The recorded competition format is a terrific opportunity for students to work on building a refined recording archive of their playing.
Download the repertoire list, recording information, and application, and please consult the ASTA competition website should there be any questions. Please note that the October 27 deadline must be strictly enforced.
