Directions:

Teachers and music instructors can nominate a student from ages 3-15 that displays exceptional innate talents.  The limit is only one phenomenal student per semester as this award to meant for the especially gifted.  On the form below, make your nomination and fill out the Message Section concerning the special talents and experiences of the musical capabilities.  As the teacher/instructor, be descriptive and explain your reasoning about why you have derived this decision about the student. 
 
Most importantly, make sure to send an audition video, which shows and records good audio of the student's solo performance.  It can even be recorded with a phone; however, it must not be longer than 15 minutes, so be sure to show the best highlights.  Send it to the following email, and label it properly with yours and the student's name, along with a picture of the student (of which Guardian approval is necessary): virtuoseaux@yahoo.com  The student will upload an audition to our site on YouTube: http:www.youtube.com/virtuoseaux
