Our Mission

It is the purpose of the MFMC Adult Composer Critique Event:

to encourage the writing of music;
to enable composers to have their music critiqued by a qualified, established composer and/or composition professor;
to help composers to learn the strengths and weaknesses of their writing;
to encourage the further development of works using suggestions from the critique;
to further the composer’s understanding of music fundamentals;
and to encourage each composer to copywrite and publish original works.

Entrants must be amateur composers age 18 and over. MFMC membership is not required.

Compositions must be non-published, original works.
Compositions may be single pieces, or a group of related pieces (e.g. sonata, suite).
Composers may submit one composition per person per year.
A work may be submitted only once, not year after year.
A composition may be hand written or computer generated; a photocopy of the composition may be submitted so the composer may retain the original.
A cassette tape recording or cd of the composition is required.
