MTNA’s eFestival
The MTNA eFestival is an online-only performance opportunity where you receive a constructive critique from a highly qualified evaluator. A perfect option during this time of Covid-19, or for anyone with a busy schedule that the other times do not work. Would also work as preparation for other events.
When: Anytime
Deadline: None.
Fee: $25 (Make the check payable to KMTA
Who: Any of my students can enter
What is required: The musician(s) video-records up to 15 minutes of playing, uploads the video(s) to YouTube and provides MTNA links to each video. In most cases, entrants will receive comments on their performances via email seven to 10 days after submission. THAT’S IT!
I just ask that if you would like to do this, that you wait until a piece is polished and we have agreed so. Then you can enter this.
SCKMTA Music Progressions
Music Progressions is a comprehensive curriculum, and students enter different levels and perform two pieces, technical exercises (scales, chords, arpeggios), sight-reading, rhythm, ear training, and a theory test.
When: TBA (usually March)
Who: Any of my students can enter, with the exception of my beginning students
What is requires: Prepare two pieces of contrasting styles. Memorize at least one. Students then work on other information as directed by the level they enter.
Studio Recitals
We will have two recitals this year. One will be a outdoor piano party. The other will be formal, most likely at a church.
