what we do
At NYSMTA District 4, our goal is to provide a steady stream of music opportunities for students. We hope to nurture all types of interests, from those students who are very serious musicians and will likely continue their musical pursuit after high school, to students who just love music and enjoy playing.
We offer performing and educational opportunities for students throughout the school year. Students may participate in a variety of performance events including:
Recitals throughout the year
Adjudicated auditions and competitions
Musicianship festival (Music Theory)
Composition project
District 4 organizes educational presentations and lectures for its members.
