Syllabus

Since 1912, the Syllabus has been used as the foundation of the SMFA Festival System listing thousands of classes offered in the district festivals across the province. Produced every three years, the SMFA Syllabus contains over 1,000 test selections chosen by professional musicians in a multitude of disciplines. Please note that this is a three-year Syllabus and changes will occur.  Changes and corrections are noted in a document below and will be updated as needed.
