Dear Music Parents and Students,
We wanted to take this opportunity to provide the excellent and exciting results from this spring's Ohio Music Education Association District 6 Virtual Solo and Ensemble event. We are beyond pleased with all the participating students as they did an excellent job preparing themselves and representing the Mogadore Music Program!
Solo and Ensemble competition is an exciting, challenging, and ultimately rewarding learning experience for our performers at Mogadore. Performances are assessed by an adjudicator and are assigned a rating ranging between “I” and “V” with a “I” ranking as a “superior” rating and “V” ranking as a “very poor performance”. Students can also elect to take their solos and ensembles for Festival Participation which only provides comments from the judge without a rating. The adjudicators also provide comment sheets that offer praise and constructive criticism that is designed to help the performers improve and grow as musicians.
The list of participating students is below, and we are very pleased to see that we had a variety of students of all grade levels and abilities performing this past weekend. Congratulations on the tremendous amount of growth you have all exhibited! We are so very proud! Kudos again to everyone who participated, and to all the families who support the Mogadore Music Program!
