NHMTA Student Performance Events

Non-Competitive………………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Student Evaluations The NHMTA Student Evaluation Program provides an opportunity for students of NHMTA members to perform pieces of music for an adjudicator and be evaluated. Each student's performance is private, non-competitive and not graded. The adjudicator's job is to constructively reinforce each performance by accentuating the positive and pointing out areas that need attention. Students are judged on their own merit at their own level. Each student will receive a participation certificate, a musical gift, and the adjudicator's comment sheet. Evaluations take place in the Spring. Website: http://www.nhmta.net/HOME.html Any questions please contact: Erica LeRoy erica@nepiano.com Fall Festival The purpose of the Fall Festival is to provide an opportunity for students to perform in a non-competitive setting and receive positive critiques from NHMTA teacher-members. Each year a special focus will be chosen, such as style period, composer or genre. By playing in a recital setting, students will be exposed to a variety of repertoire and to other students playing similar compositions. Fall Festival takes place in the Fall.
