The Music Performance Assessment program provides opportunities for students, ensembles, and directors to benefit from the performance assessment experience through PMEA.
Participation is open to bands, orchestras and choruses from the elementary, middle and high school levels and to students from grades 3-12 in Solo & Small Ensemble MPA’s. A Jazz Ensemble MPA structure is also available. Directors may participate in any MPA held in any PMEA District.

Host an MPA
Hosts have flexibility in structuring a large ensemble MPA with numerous options available in addition to the typical mix of ensembles from different schools in either the ‘Traditional’ and ‘Festival’ performance context.
When hosting an MPA, hosts can select:
- The ensemble type
- The grade range of the performing ensembles
- To host Internal MPAs within the same school district
Any questions about MPAs can be directed to Kate Chmelko, the D12 MPA Coordinator, or Tom Snyder, the state MPA Coordinator, using the Contact tab.
