Suggested String Solo & Ensemble Lists

Suggested Music Lists

In most cases these lists are "suggested" lists. Please check your District's page to see if any lists are "required lists.

Because of changes in the music publishing industry and how quickly music can go Out Of Print, these list are as current as we can make them without turning it into a full time profession.

Please use them as guides. If a selections is listed as a certain class, enter it as that class. Arbitrarily changing classes of a listed solo can cause problems on contest day.
