RPTA's 2022 YAA Leadership Team honored for their outstanding service at a Spring 2022 membership meeting. From L-R: Sheila Dacus, Debra Heath, Kay Bagwell, and Loogwah Kradlak.

The purpose of the Young Artist Auditions is to promote the performance of American piano music as well as choice piano pieces by non-American composers, and to award competition winners. The intent is to encourage all piano students below the college level to perform, enjoy, and create music, and to make music an important part of their lives as they continue studying piano.

How the Divisions Work

YAA offers many different entry options for students and their teachers based upon the student's level in piano and the type of audition desired. Please carefully read the Guidelines for all audition information.
