NYSSMA Manual

Kathryn Struzik, Chairperson


 
The NYSSMA Manual is a 600+ page reference book copyrighted by the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA). It is updated every three years. Edition XXVIII (effective July 2006) is the current edition and will be in effect through the 2009 Spring Festival season. The Manual contains an extensive list of instrumental and vocal music for solo and ensemble performance. Every section is broken down into six levels of difficulty. The NYSSMA Manual also includes the NYSSMA Constitution and By-Laws as well as all of the Rules and Regulations for all NYSSMA-sanctioned evaluation festivals.
