If your students have not participated in the Musicianship Festival, we encourage you to give it a try. All teachers know that students should be well versed in the various aspects of music theory (note identification, note and rest values, rules of notation, musical terms and signs) and the ability to recognize these things aurally. Students should be able to translate theoretical information into reading and playing written music. Yet, in reality, music theory, ear training and sight reading frequently take a back seat during lesson time because, lets’s face it, learning to play music on an instrument is challenging enough! The beauty of the Musicianship Festival is that it gives teachers a tool to organize and focus students’ music theory studies. With sample exams and the syllabus posted online, teachers can confidently prepare students and easily work through the material at each lesson leading up to the festival. In addition, your students will earn District 4 points toward a trophy. The higher a student’s score, the more points they earn. (Remember that all of District 4’s programs earn students points toward a trophy.) Teachers as well as students are motivated by working toward a goal. Take advantage of this opportunity! Please note that students are permitted to repeat levels as often as needed to master the material.
