Young Artist Piano Competition and Keyboard Kaper

The Young Artist Piano Competition and Keyboard Kaper take place in March at the Ogle Center on the campus of Indiana University Southeast. These programs are designed to give young pianists in our region the opportunity to perform and compete with other talented musicians. Both programs are offered to students in Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Jefferson, Scott and Washington counties in Indiana.

Young Artist Piano Competition
The Young Artist Piano Competition is open to Junior High and Senior High School students. Required repertoire- two memorized compositions from any two of the following periods: Baroque, Classical, Romantic or Contemporary.
Finalists compete in a free, public performance later in the day, which ends with the presentation of cash awards for first and second place winners in each division. All participants receive written evaluations from the adjudicators.
To see specific requirements, you may download a PDF version of the brochure and application or contact the Arts Council to request a brochure and application in the mail.

Keyboard Kaper
Keyboard Kaper is a non-competitive program designed to give students who are not ready to compete the opportunity to perform for a judge and receive an evaluation. Each student performs two contrasting compositions from memory and a scale in the key of each piece. Students receive certificates of participation and written
evaluations from the adjudicators. You may also download a PDF version of this brochure which includes an application.
