KMTA sponsors many musical and educational events for our students and for
the community at large. The following is a description of some of our
regular events.
Adjudications
Currently we offer adjudications for piano, string and voice
students during late winter. Students perform and receive both written and
active feedback from experienced adjudicators.
Ribbon Festival
Described as "track and field day for musicians", this fun event
allows young musicians to earn ribbons for musical knowledge, sight reading,
playing and more. Usually held in late winter.
Student Recitals
There are many opportunities for music students to perform in KMTA
sponsored recitals. Student recitals are held in the fall and winter with
other opportunities to perform at the Kitsap Mall during the Christmas
season.
Benefit Recitals
KMTA sponsors professional level concerts to raise funds for our
senior scholarships. Concerts feature the KMTA teachers and also guest
performers from the greater Seattle area. These concerts are held in the
fall and winter or spring.
Young Musician's Festival
A full weekend for the young musician to perform in recital and
various ensembles. Held in the Spring.
Senior Scholarship & Awards
KMTA honors our graduating seniors with awards and scholarships. A
Scholarship is awarded to the winner of a competition as well as the student
who demonstrates community service within the musical community. This event
is held in the spring.
Monthly Meetings
Each month when KMTA meets, a guest speaker or program is offered in
addition to the business meeting. These meetings offer on opportunity to
network and learn with your fellow teachers. Meetings are usually held the
second Friday of the month.
