Today is the deadline for WSMTA teachers to submit entries for the Marsha Wright Commissioned Sonatina Award!

In 2019, Seattle Music Teachers Association launched The Marsha Wright Commissioned Sonatina Award, named in honor of the Sonatina Festival’s Founder. For 2021, we will commission an original composition from a WSMTA member.

We are looking for an early-intermediate level sonatina in three movements, for solo instrument. A nod to traditional sonata-allegro form is welcome but not necessary; any brief work in several movements will qualify as a sonatina. What is most important is that all parts be playable by early-intermediate level students.

The new sonatina will be premiered at The Marsha Wright Sonatina Festival in April 2021.
