AHS Greater Seattle Chapter is offering students an opportunity for auditions and evaluations.

Auditions and Evaluations is an educational program for harp students to come specifically to be heard and to hear one another. Because this is a unique two-part program, there is special focus on the improvement that can be made by participating on both days.

On the first day, participants play pieces of their own choosing for an advisor and for one another. The advisor gives each student feedback on their performance. A performer’s worksheet or traditional theory test is given. On the second day of the program, about a month later, participants show their improvement by playing the same pieces again. Because this is not a competition, no prizes are given.

Students of any level or age may participate in A&E. Music of any genre is encouraged including but not limited to classical, folk, jazz, and sacred. Chapters will choose either a time limit or a set number of pieces for each participant to play. Students should keep in mind this event is intended to be a learning experience; it is a good opportunity to set a goal, practice performing, hear others play, receive feedback from a professional other than your usual teacher, and then return to perform the same music again after feedback.
