wsma student composition project
Student Composers Honored Tim Wurgler, Program Director
The WSMA Student Composition Project encourages and recognizes the efforts of Wisconsin’s student composers. This year a total of 72 submissions were received for the project with 46 submissions in the High School Division (grades 9-12) and 26 in the Middle School Division (grades 5-8). Twelve submissions received Honor- able Mention distinctions and 23 students received awards based on merit in nine different categories.
The Student Composition Project provides student composers the opportunity to receive feedback regarding the positive qualities of his/her piece as well as pro- vide ways to improve as a composer in the future. Each submission is reviewed and receives a written critique by a pro- fessional composer. A panel of reviewers determines awards and winners. Division winners receive a scholarship to study composition.
Awards were presented at the Wisconsin Center for Music Education in Waunakee on Saturday, August 24 during a recep- tion.
2014 Application Deadline: March 7, 2014. Visit
