The Emerging Young Artist (EYA) category will include young musicians, ages 14-17, who are enrolled in private lessons, either through independent teachers or through their respective school system. The tuition for EYA participants is $350 per season. Scholarships are available, and audition requirements will change depending on the amount of scholarship sought (see below).

The Pre-Professional Artist  (PPF) category will include musicians ages 18-25 who are seeking high-level preparation for a future career as a professional musician. Auditions will be held at the highest standards. PPF participants will have access to masterclasses, mock auditions, and chamber music programs.
