2026 Syllabus - Solo - Woodwinds
Woodwind Division participants may enter a maximum of SIX Solo classes.
Repertoire & Class Selection:
- Syllabi of the major Canadian examination bodies provide guidance in making suitable choices regarding repertoire levels. Repertoire not included in a Canadian syllabus must be at the appropriate level for the class. If conservatory examination requirements indicate that the repertoire should be performed as one unit, it may be performed as one unit at the Festival.
- Participants may enter one grade level higher in any one class. For example, Level 7 Classical and Level 8 Baroque.
- Open classes are for participants who have completed their Diploma, OR are over 18 years of age OR have previously won the respective Diploma level class. There are no restrictions on the number of years the Open division classes may be entered.
Important:
- Participants must enter the age they are as of December 31st, 2025 when registering.
- Once a piece has been performed it may not be performed again in another class.
- Participants who have achieved first place may not perform again in the same class the following year, except in "Open" classes.
- Accurate performance times are necessary for class scheduling, and to avoid disqualification for exceeding class time limits.
- To be eligible for recommendation to the Provincial Festival, the maximum age for any competitor will be 22 in all disciplines.
In addition to this syllabus, please ensure you have thoroughly read all of the Vancouver Kiwanis Music Festivals GENERAL RULES & REGULATIONS.
