Guidelines to Submit Literature to the MSHSAA Prescribed Graded Music List The guidelines are provided below. There is now an established 3-year rotation for each. Literature may be submitted anytime throughout the year; however, it will be kept on file until the next review cycle for that specific area.


Three-Year Review Cycle Winds/Percussion/Piano Literature – Summer of 2017 Vocal Literature - Summer of 2018 String Literature – Summer of 2019 Materials must arrive at MSHSAA on or before June 1st


New Music Submissions To submit new literature for consideration for the MSHSAA PGML, please follow the steps below. Review the matrixes for each area prior to submitting literature. Each matrix is located on the MSHSAA website under the Music Activities link. Print and complete the specific “Literature Addition Request Form” for each title. Each form is located on the MSHSAA website. The forms have been specifically designed for each area of the list. Please be sure to select the appropriate request form for your selection(s).


Attach a photocopy (Do not send ORIGINALS) of the score with the “Literature Addition Request Form” and mail to the MSHSAA Office on or before June 1st. For solos, include a copy of the soloist part with each measure numbered. For ensembles, all parts shall appear on the score and each measure should be numbered. Do NOT send originals! All photocopies will be destroyed after the review. A completed “Literature Addition Request Form” must accompany each title being submitted for review. Any music submitted without a completed “Literature Addition Request Form” will not be reviewed and the music will be returned to the sender.


The individual school directors play a major role in the development and maintenance of the list. Please


summer 2017 | www.mmea.net


do not submit literature just because the music is in your library; rather submit quality literature that is not currently listed. Please consider sharing this information with studio or private music instructors as well. Be certain to submit your music before June 1st. Music received after June 1st will not be reviewed for consideration for the 2018 music festivals.


Music Submitted for Timing Considerations Only If you have a selection that you feel has been timed incorrectly please submit the selection using the steps outlined below to the MSHSAA office for review. Please contact the MSHSAA office if you have additional questions.


Print and complete a “Timing Clarification” form located on the MSHSAA website for each selection submitted with timing concerns. Attach a photocopy of the score (ensembles only) or soloist’s part with the timing clarification form and mail to the MSHSAA Office on or before June 1st. For solos and ensembles please number each measure of the work. Do NOT send originals. All photocopies will be destroyed after the review. A “Timing Clarification” form must accompany each title being submitted for review.
