Use the library at your own pace

If you mainly want to find music for lessons, teaching, recitals, or personal practice, start with the Sheet Music Library. You can explore repertoire by composer, instrument, category, level, and point value without taking part in evaluations or the leaderboard.

Create an account to track performances

An account gives your completed performances a place in your repertoire record. Choose a piece, prepare it, record a complete performance, and submit it for review. After approval, collect the points from your submission page.

This can help students set goals and give parents and teachers a clearer record of progress. Participation is optional: enjoying and learning music remains valuable whether or not you earn points.

Choose the right evaluation option

  • Public Evaluation: free community review using a Public or Unlisted YouTube video. Approved performances can earn regular points, but public submissions do not count toward certificates.
  • Private Evaluation: paid review by RTV admins, using a YouTube link or a saved video file when offered by the form. Approved private evaluations can count toward certificates.

Check the current charge and requirements before paying. Certificate fees and evaluation fees are separate. The video submission guide explains the process.

Understand video visibility before submitting

“Private Evaluation” describes who reviews the performance. It is not the same as setting a YouTube video to Private. Public-review videos must be accessible to community reviewers.

Directly uploaded videos may be processed or hosted through RTV’s video infrastructure. Approved performances and profile information may be displayed according to the feature, submission type, and current settings. Read the Privacy Policy and the submission form before sharing a recording. Parents and guardians should review these choices with younger musicians.

You do not have to manage YouTube for every submission

Public submissions use YouTube links. Private evaluation also supports uploading a saved recording when that option appears on the form. Record the performance on your device first, then follow the upload instructions and limits shown.

Treat points as a progress guide

The leaderboard reflects completed repertoire and RTV point values. It is not a complete judgment of musicianship or a substitute for a formal audition. Tone, interpretation, confidence, and musical expression still matter beyond the numbers.

If goals, recordings, feedback, and a repertoire record would support your practice, create a free account. If you prefer independent study, the library is still there for you.
