Please does anyone know if the category finals (March, I think) are televised?

Usually they are, in recent years on BBC4. No mention on the YMOTY website yet of any broadcast details though.

I found the following which provides info on when the category finals and semi-finals are taking place but there's no TV schedule on the BBC website for March yet. I think they were on BBC Four last in the past.

I hope this year we get plenty of music instead of half the programme on the biographies of the candidates

2010 was marginally better on this than the lamentable 2008 coverage, but I'll be very surprised if much changes for 2012, to be honest...

Extensive highlights of the Category Finals will be broadcast on BBC Four over consecutive Friday nights beginning on April 13 with the semi-final being shown on BBC Two (time tbc). BBC Radio 3's In Tune, presented by Suzy Klein, will also be featuring performances by the semi-finalists leading up to the broadcast final.

Woodwind and Brass line up are interesting this year... just one candidate per instrument.

Woodwind: flute, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone and recorder!! No Oboe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Brass: E flat Tenor Horn, Brass Trombone, Tuba, French Horn and Trumpet.

On the other hand, Strings have got FOUR Violins and two Cellos. No Violas and Harps this time.

I assume the Rayners in Percussion are brothers. Is this a first? (and can you imagine being their parents!)

agree completely!! The height of excitement seems to be when one of them goes to see a movie "like a normal teenager", for all the world as though s/he were a giraffe or something

Now if you want to see a compelling real life drama, reality/documentary on teenager music making, try "Mrs Carey's Concert" which headlined the Adelaide music festival recently. It's about a concert put on every 2 years at the Sydney Opera House, by a posh girl's school in Sydney, with highly acclaimed directors etc

-- I was absolutely riveted

here's the url Mrs Carey's concert

I don't mind a short biography, just to show their family, teachers etc. It's inspiring, especially if the candidate is from a challenging background.

2008 programme was the worst! I remember them showing an Edinburgh flautist shopping at Jenners! Why would I want to know that?

I think so....I am sure the parents would be delighted but a little worried. There can only be one winner!

I enjoyed this and so did my daughters (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
And there is some very good playing as well as some more average playing and some totally disinterested pupils too.

Oh, goodness, I see that one of my ex-students from Guildhall is through to the Brass final - tuba player Christopher Dunn. I taught him between the ages of 4 to 11. Wow!

And I think the sister of the percussionist Rayner brothers, who also plays percussion, used to be in the Junior Choir at Guildhall.
