February News, 2014

Despite numerous school cancellations and delayed starts, we successfully managed to accomplish all planned events on a calendar.

Record low temperatures didn’t stop us from holding two studio mini-recitals at the "Woodlands".

 It was great to see everyone at our Group Class. We worked sincerely on improving listening skills for theory exam and spent time getting more familiar with the long list of signs and terms for the Theory Mastery Day. Later, everyone performed Baroque Festival pieces for the class. We had fun drawing numbers to determine the order of performances. Some students came up with a clever way of “trading” numbers for more favorable spots!

NVMTA held two Judged Recitals, please see fantastic results:

Raelyn- Honors (January)

 Eli- Honors (January)

 Nicole- Honors(February)

In addition to receiving Honors,  Raelyn was selected to perform at the young Artist Musicale at George Mason University in March.

SMC Honors:

VMTA Theory Exam was attended by all, well done! Top scores go to Jacqui, Sophia, Lucy and Eileen (level X).
