MC1, Music Composition: 11 Years and under
Compositions to be submitted to the Piano Secretary, in the form of a recording together with either a fully notated score or a score in the form of a written commentary showing the composer's intentions.
Up to three compositions of any style for any combination of instruments and/or voice. Words, if used, need not be original, but the source must be acknowledged if not. The recording can be used as a 'performance' on the day or composers may bring their own musicians for a live performance. This will form an essential part of the class although the adjudicator's assessment will not be changed to the detriment of the entrant following the performance. If a recording is to be played please email the Piano Secretary in advance to state this. A composition not heard will be adjudicated but not marked. The entry of a composer who does not attend the class will be adjudicated but not placed.
VENUE: Gwyn Williams Room, Taunton School.
DATE: Sunday 8th and Monday 9th February 2026
ADJUDICATOR: Caroline Diffley
N.B. There is no wheel-chair access to this venue
