What is the Music Artistry Program?

For the Student:
  • Set goals which encourages preparation beyond the normal weekly routine.
  • The process is similar to sports: practice – games – tournaments.
  • Perform for a highly-respected visiting artist
  • Work one-on-one with the visiting artist to improve your performance
  • Receive written comments and a certificate for your hard work



For the Parent:
  • The Music Artistry Program serves as a goal for your child to prepare two memorized pieces
  • Non-competitive format encourages learning, rather than comparison with others
  • Visiting artists are experienced teachers with advanced training, have been carefully screened by WSMTA, are nationally certified by MTNA and many serve on college faculties around the Northwest
For the Teacher:
  • Challenge yourself and your students to achieve goals
  • Observe your students’ lessons from a third-person perspective, often seeing new ways to approach difficult situations or unique problems
  • Share ideas and questions with a supportive colleague during one-on-one time with the visiting artist after they has heard all your students
  • Discover trends and areas which may need improvement
