2026 District Audition Dates for Madison Students

Entry Fee: $45 =

$30 festival entry fee + additional studio group class & repertoire fee is $15

Some notes about district auditions…

This is an event sponsored by Wisconsin Music Teachers Associated, and hosted by our local chapter - Madison Area Music Educators.

Students must commit to this event before the Winter holiday break - it is essential that we plan ahead for this event. I lesson plan each student’s program very carefully so that we make progress and grow musically while preparing for this festival. It is an absolutely worthwhile event - I would love to see 100% youth participation from my studio for this event!

In 2025 - Congratulations to my four students who are invited to advance to the REGIONAL audition sponsored by WMTA on May 10, 2025 held at UW-Whitewater! The 2026 date will be listed here when I learn of it…
