The Spring Festival is a unique opportunity for ESPS musicians that combines performance and education. The performance portion is designed as an individual growth opportunity - each student performs for the adjudicating teacher, who will then evaluate and comment on the students' performances. The resulting remarks focus on personal development versus grades or ranking of the participants.
The students are placed in small groups according to book level and age. Prior to the festival, each student prepares a piece and polishes it to the best of their ability. During the festival, they perform it in the class for the visiting teacher to evaluate and make written comments. These comments typically include suggestions for further study, practice tips, and encouragement.
The Spring Festival is a fantastic opportunity to hear other students perform as well. Students and parents learn through their own adjudications and by hearing feedback others receive. Students are also inspired and encouraged by hearing the performances of the other students in their class. Teachers encourage and urge families to observe at least one additional class at the festival.
This year, we welcome Adjudicators Joseph Fridman and Janna Olson to work with ESPS students.
