Our popular Music education event returns in 2021, by Zoom.
We are excited to announce Julie Smith Phillips, Principal Harpist of San Diego Symphony, as this year’s Music Ed adjudicator!
Read more about the Music Ed (A.k.a. audi tions & evaluations) on the national AHS site.
The sessions will be held on the last Sunday in February (the 28th) and the last Sunday in March (the 28th).  ; Harp students of all ages and all levels are encouraged to participate (e specially beginners and intermediates). Students play for an Advisor (guest harp teacher) and get his or her suggestions at the first session, a nd return at the second session to show the progress they’ve made. This is a master-class type setting (all the participants get to see each others’ p erformances and interactions with the teacher). It often gives studen ts a fresh perspective and new inspiration to get suggestions from someone other than their regular teacher, as well as to see and hear other students ’ performances and suggestions from the Advisor.
$25 fe e covers both sessions (February and March). The advisor will provide written c omments at both sessions.
• Part icipants and their teachers must be current members of AHS-LA. Click her e for membership information.
• Participan ts must use original sheet music. Participants may be asked to provide adju dicator with a pdf scan of their music.
• At the first session, participants should play two selections of their ow n choosing, representing contrasting styles and not exceeding 7 minutes.&nb sp;
• At the second session, participants will perform their selections again, incorporating the advisor's advice. < /span>
• An additional selection may also be performe d at the second session as long as total playing time does not exceed 7 min utes.
