The Spring Student Recital is open for students of all levels to play one memorized, polished piece.
Presenter: Snezana Krstic
Experience the insights of master teacher Snezana Krstic as she teaches an open lesson for the public. Ms. Krstic comes with decades of teaching many students to their highest potential, first from her native Serbia, where she was professor of piano and honored teacher of pedagogy, to the US, where many of her students have continued winning prizes from local to international levels.
This event provides a competitive performance opportunity to students of all levels and ages in a recital format. There will be a recital for each level. The winners will receive trophies and cash prizes.
Join us for lunch to wrap up a fantastic year of EVMTA events!
All graduating Seniors are invited to perform 1 piece or 2 short pieces. Seniors receiving the Senior Award (by separate application) are expected to perform in the recital.
Arizona Study Program is a twelve-year graded course of study developed by the Arizona State Music Teachers Association to provide for the development of musical performance, technique, and theory. It is organized in terms of the twelve years of public school, with one level available for each of the years a student would be enrolled in school. It requires continual work throughout the year. Each spring, students are evaluated on repertoire and technique requirements by a master adjudicator and are required to complete a written theory test.
