Suzuki Graduation CANCELLED

After lots of consideration, GPSA has decided that we will cancel our Graduation Recitals this year.  We do not want our members and their participating families to feel obligated to come when there is a very high risk of contagion around.  The Settlement School is about to close down anyway, and they will very kindly refund some of our payment.

All of the students have been able to do a dress rehearsal, with most of them playing in that hall.  We will make arrangements for all of the students to get their trophies, as well as a printed program of the event.

Thank you to all of you for your participation this year.  This is definitely a big disappointment to all of us who worked hard to make this event happen.  We have already reserved dates for next year, March 7 for the rehearsals and March 14 for the recitals, in 2021.

Please stay well.

GRADUATION PROGRAM GENERAL INFORMATION

Our Graduation Program is in its 24th year.  The area-wide program culminates in at least two Graduation Recitals, where each participating student is presented with a trophy.  The Graduation Program recognizes student progress through each of many levels in piano, violin, viola, cello, and guitar.

Process:

Teachers submit a video link for each student, recording a Graduation Piece and a Recital Piece for their Level. The submitted videos are viewed by GPSA teacher committees. The committees of three or four teachers view the videos together and give positive feedback on aspects of the performances, plus suggestions for specific improvements to work on both for the recital performance and the playing in general.

Purpose:

To celebrate each student’s musical accomplishment as they reach various Levels of repertoire.

Each participating student receives written feedback well ahead of the recital, and a trophy for their Graduation Level.

To gradually raise the quality of our students’ playing and performing skills, through the opportunity to video their playing, receive constructive feedback, and practice presentation and stage presence in a formal setting.

To raise the standards of teaching through the educational process of listening to other teachers’ students, both in video and in performance, as well as preparing students to make a high quality recording of a required graduation piece and a selected recital piece.
