Judging Guidelines
When adjudicating for a performance event, DMTA encourages all judges to consis-
tently and judiciously apply the following criteria:
I+
An artistic performance that has tonal variety and technical fluency. The
music should be projected with poise, imagination, stylistic freedom, and
rhythmic vitality. This rating can be given to students of any age.
I
An excellent performance, showing accuracy in notes and rhythm, tempo
control, technical facility, and continuity. This performance tends to lack the
vitality and authority of artistry.
II
A prepared performance, mostly accurate in notes, rhythm, dynamics, and
memory, but lacking in one or more of the following areas: tonal beauty,
balance, technical ease, awareness of phrasing, or appropriate tempo.
III
A tenuous performance with many inaccuracies. Practice habits need to be
improved.
NFP (Needs Further Preparation)

Further preparation needed in all areas.
Guidelines:
✦✦ Please make your comments definitive and directly related to the music, avoiding a
measure-by-measure critique.
✦✦ Any student who fails to bring music, presents a photocopy of the music, or performs
an arrangement of any composition will receive a critique but no rating will be given.
The only exception: arrangements are acceptable in the Jazz-Pop Contest.
For Teachers:
✦✦ Remember that a judge’s decision is final.
✦✦ Do not identify your students to a judge.
✦✦ Do not confront or threaten a judge. Any attempt to challenge or influence a judge’s
decision will result in the disqualification of the student(s).

✦✦ If you would like to give feedback on a particular judge, please contact the vice
president.

✦ 17 ✦
Monitor Policy
All teachers who have students participating in a DMTA-sponsored event must
monitor for that event or have another member substitute for them.
Substitute Monitors:
A teacher may pay another member to be their substitute. The recommended fee is $75
per event. There is no limit to the number of times a teacher may pay a substitute or act
as a paid substitute. It is mandatory that the substitute be another DMTA member.
A list of those volunteering to be substitute monitors will be posted on the DMTA

website; however, paid substitutes are not limited to this list. It is the teacher’s responsi-
bility to secure a monitor, coordinate payment with the substitute teacher, and to notify
the event chairman of this change at least two weeks prior to the event. If the substitute fails
to appear, it will be the original teacher’s responsibility to pay all fines.
Failure to Monitor:
A teacher’s failure to monitor or to provide a substitute monitor for a DMTA event will
result in both of the following penalties:
1. Fine & Suspension

First Offense: $100 fine & all students from that teacher’s studio will be
suspended from participating in that same event the following year.
Second Offense: $250 fine & all students from that teacher’s studio will be
Third Offense: $500 fine & all students from that teacher’s studio will be
2. Suspension
In addition, all students from that teacher’s studio will be suspended from
participating in all DMTA events until the respective fines have been satis-
fied in full.
