Merry Tuba Christmas
Sponsored by For A Song And A Story, the 8th annual Clinton County MERRY TUBACHRISTMAS will be held in conjunction with "Wilmington's Hometown Holidazzle". It will be held at the Historic Murphy Theatre in downtown Wilmington, Ohio, the Saturday following Thanksgiving 2011. There will be more information to come.
Junior Music Experience (JME)
Clinton County’s first JME event was held at For A Song & A Story on April 24th, 2010. Three piano instructors and their 17 students participated in the event.
The JME program is for young people in the Cincinnati, Ohio and Northern Kentucky area. Established in 1982, the program is designed to encourage young piano students to continue their studies and to reward them for their efforts.
Not a "contest," JME enables even young, beginning piano students to participate in student-friendly evaluations in a one-on-one environment with a piano teacher like their own. Junior Music Experience welcomes all Greater Cincinnati area piano teachers to enter their students in a JM Evaluation. There are no membership dues, however, to maintain the high quality of JME Evaluations participating teachers are required to judge one half day twice a year or all day once yearly.
Junior Music Experience Evaluations are held in April and November each year. The next JME Evaluations are scheduled for November 20, 2010. The registration fee per student is $25. Entries must be submitted by participating teachers.
Evaluations last approximately 15 minutes. Participants are evaluated on musical criteria appropriate to the curricular format of their lessons: how well they play and - according to the student's experience - including timing, dynamics, accuracy and fingering. Students are not judged on the style of music they play. The Directors believe that all forms of music should be encouraged - classical, popular, religious, country, rock, jazz and so on. Students receive a written evaluation in each of the competency areas with appropriate comments from the judge, who also awards an over-all score of one to five points. Each participant will also receive a ribbon representing their point total as well as a personalized certificate.
For additional information, or to be put on the JME mailing list to enter students, please visit the JME website-- www.jmex.org --or call 513.683.1766.
