Calling all student musicians! I wanted to share a music opportunity for anyone interested in performing virtually. A student-run nonprofit I’m involved with (Musical Memories) is organizing an online concert, and we’re currently looking for musicians who’d like to participate. This virtual concert is a partnership with Blowing in the Wind, another nonprofit dedicated to fostering cultural exchanges between students. We're looking for musicians who perform more traditional music, either from their cultural heritage or a unique genre of music they're learning! Accepted participants will submit videos along with a brief explanation about their story in learning that specific type of music. 🎶 🎻 Virtual concert details can be found below: Online event (YouTube livestream) Will take place on Sunday, October 26 ~5-10 performances of ~5 minutes long The sign up form can be found here, which has more logistical guidelines/info. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to blowinginthewind.youth@gmail.com, or musicalmemories2023@gmail.com. Please sign up as this is a wonderful, unique opportunity for musicians of all backgrounds and skill levels!

I haven't written music specifically for youth/education, but I've noticed that in that field, many composers will characterize the difficulty levels of their pieces as "grade 3," "grade 4," etc. Are there lists online with specifics for each "grade" standard? How does one quantify difficulty level when there are so many factors? (If there are ensemble-specific lists, I'm primarily interested in finding out the standards for string ensemble music -- and music for solo instrumentalists.) Thank you.
