EMTA 2024 Musicianship Festival
Some great photos from the EMTA Musicianship Festival that was held on May 4, 2024. The theme was “May the 4th be with you” plus other space related themes. Twenty teachers and 209 students were registered for this fun event. Festival events included: music performance opportunities, music literacy exams, musical composition submissions, and music projects (including arts and crafts, history, research paper, etc.). More results from the festival will be coming soon.
WSMTA 2024 Young Composer Project Results
EMTA was well represented with 7 out of the 17 teachers coming from our chapter: Marie Wollam-Mergler, Rose Freeman, Rick Asher, Kaitlin Wick, Carrie Kahler, Marilyn Droz and Frances Goei. We had 3 first place winners. This was a little lower than in the past due to the fact that students were not allowed to win 2 years in a row so a number of our students submitted for comment only or did not submit at all. The 3 winners will play in the EMTA Gala Concert.
