The AGM National Convention and Contest is the pinnacle of the AGM music year, bringing together top performers from regional competitions. The event features the Age, Concerto, and North American Invitational Championship Finals.

You can qualify by competing in the 48th Regional Contest in Detroit, taking place April 25-27, or by entering the final qualifying round at Nationals in July. Either way, there are numerous exciting competitions to enter, including Length of Study, Pop, Theory, Sight Reading, Duets, Duos, and Ensembles.




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!
