• Participating students must be students of San Antonio Music Teacher Association members.

• Recitals are held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Please check the SAMTA 2011-2012 Calendar for specific dates. The Recital Coordinator must approve any changes to this schedule.

• Students may perform only once in a given recital. Soloists are expected to have their musicmemorized. Teachers may not perform on these programs for any reason, unless accompaniment is required. No photocopies of music scores will be permitted not even for accompanists.

• There is a 5 minute time-limit for each student participating in the Trick or Treat, Just Boys, and Wee Folks recitals. There is a 10-minute time limit per student for the Back to School and Masterworks recitals

• A SAMTA teacher may enter a maximum of 7 students per recital with a total playing time of no more than 35 minutes. Exception: for the February Valentine Duet and Ensemble Recital, the maximum of 7 students per teacher does not apply. However, the 35 minute time limit for students of any one teacher does apply to this recital.

• The SAMTA Board of Directors recommends that students participating in the Wee Folks Recital should not exceed 8 years of age.

• Teachers are expected to instruct students and their families about recital etiquette, i.e. conduct, bowing, etc.

• Recital entries must be entered no later than ten days prior to the recital. Late entries will not be considered; nor will “telephone’ conversations suffice for recital information.

• Entries are handled on a first come / first served basis.

Please note: Recitals with more than 25 participants may be divided in order to ensure that there is sufficient space for all participants and family members to have a place to sit in the recital hall. In these cases, the recital times will be modified to accommodate the division. The sponsor will contact each participating teacher with information concerning the time at which his or her students will be scheduled to perform. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
