Minnesota Music Teachers Association VOICE CONTEST LIST – 2001 The voice program of MMTA consists of two activities: a contest, and educational examinations. The voice contest has two tiers: a traditional contest and a Young Artist contest, both of which are described below. The examinations follow the syllabus outlining five levels, each containing scales and arpeggios; studies; repertoire; sightreading; and both aural and written theory. Contest winners, and students receiving high examination scores, receive certificates; performance opportunities; and/or monetary awards. Both of these programs were deigned for MMTA teachers.
