Please be reminded that the solo or ensemble music selection performed must be the correct arrangement listed in the July 2022 NYSSMA Manual, Edition 33. Each school music teacher possesses a manual to confirm your child’s music selection. Additionally, there are no photocopies permitted for any performance (you can purchase sheet music from either a store or online). Please visit the NYSSMA WEBSITE for additional information and frequently asked questions.
To register and pay for NYSSMA, please complete all information located in SCHOOLPAY, no later than the dates listed above. Please note there are no refunds for NYSSMA. Before making any changes to your registration, consult your child’s music teacher. Any changes to NYSSMA levels may affect the scheduled time (if the request is accommodated). If your level change is accepted, note that there are no reimbursements to move down a level, and you will be responsible for an additional payment to move up a level.
