About the Event

Join us on Friday, April 10th for two pedagogy workshops with ARMTA president, Annette Bradley!

Lecture Topics:

A Day-by-Day Approach to Practicing

Students often spend wasteful time practicing their new pieces or reviewing old ones. They, seldom know what “going over” or “learn this piece” actually means. This lecture will give you a step-by-step methodogical approach from a second year player and up to ARCT levels.

Memorize All This?

Many students do not have the ear or energy to memorize. This approach suits all levels and gives even the most insecure performer, the confidence to learn and successfully perform a piece by memory.

Registration

Registration is limited, please sign up using the form below. Want to become a GPMTA member and get special access to events like this? Follow the link here.
