Eligibility and Instrumentation Each category of class in this discipline specifies the eligibility of performers or ensembles to enter classes within that category, including permitted instrumentation.
Repertoire Each class specifies the quantity of repertoire selections required for that class in its description. If a class permits performance of more than one selection, multiple selections must be contrasting - distinct from one another in style, mood, tempo, and so on.

Difficulty If a class specifies a Conservatory level, selections performed in that class must match or approximately match its level; otherwise, they must be suited to the technical proficiency of the performer or performers.
Multi-Movement Works When performing two or more movements from a multi-movement work, you combine such movements into a single selection, and may not perform them as distinct selections. These movements must be contrasting where possible. When performing multiple movements from a multi-movement work in a class, unless otherwise specified you may combine two movements with a combined duration of no more than fve (5) minutes from the work together.
