The AGM National Convention and Contest a contest for students of all instruments.  We have divisons for everybody of any age and level of perfromance.   This is the pinnacle of the AGM music year, bringing together top performers from regional competitions. The event features numerous exciting competitions to enter, including Length of Study, Pop, Theory, Sight Reading, Duets, Duos, and Ensembles.

The national contest also has the finals for the Age, Concerto, and North American Invitational Championship.  Students qualify for these final divisions at any Regional Contest or by entering the final qualifying round at Nationals in July. Students from the highest category in other Music Competitions automatically qualify for the NAIC Finals with a written letter from the organization.

Additionally, advanced students can participate in AGM's Cadet Teachers Clinic, which provides valuable training on managing a music school and the key skills needed for success in music education. The National Convention also includes a Convention Choir and Orchestra, open to contestants, teachers, and adults. These groups rehearse nightly and perform at the Grand Awards Banquet.

Beyond the competitions, students and their families have the opportunity to explore local attractions, relax by the pool, and connect with peers from different studios—building friendships that last a lifetime while growing as musicians.

We look forward to seeing you there!
