Reminiscent of Joni Erickson Tada's drawing abilities. People are amazing.
One winner of China's Got Talent was an armless young man who played piano with his feet...and sang.

Choosing a Music Teacher
I was recently looking up competition information. I went to websites of local associations in which piano teachersI know participate, like Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and the Mid-State Music Teacher's Association (MSMTA). The latter website offered this guide on choosing a music teacher.
For teachers, this is a great guide to making a resume and enhancing interviews!

Competitions for the Tampa Bay Area
Researching piano competition in the area, and there are a lot of choices. Thanks to Betty Chester for the info.
Florida State Music Teachers' Association*, the Florida section of the The Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), and the Mid-State Music Teacher's Association (MSMTA) offer different competitions. Teacher and student membership required. MSMTA has two in Spring, March and May. Under competition, MSMTA has judge's sheets along with application which list things that judges listen for - useful.
This is an independent competition by prestigious pianists:

A more broad annual youth competition with an emphasis on entertainment is Spotlight on Talent in Wesley Chapel.
Also, I am interested in looking into what Federated Music clubs has to offer as well, and they use Hillborough Community College facilities.
Many competitions are open to the public. I would highly recommend a student attend one before participating, to learn and enjoy!
*P.S. The February 2012 newsletter of the Florida State Music Teachers' Association contains further info on pianist competitions. The next public competition is FSMTA Competitive Events, May 11-12 – HCC Ybor Campus, Tampa.
