2023 Music Artistry Program Results
Voice MAP was a success! The event took place on February 25 at Ruth Bradshaw’s home. We had six students participate.
The 2023 Piano MAP was held on March 3rd, 4th, and 5th, with 23 teachers and over 200 students participating. Despite one visiting artist suddenly becoming sick, EMTA members pulled together and made sure every student was heard and adjudicated.
The ETMA Honors Recitals was held at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church on March 12th. Twenty-three EMTA teachers participated in MAP and 33 students were chosen by the adjudicators to perform. Cookie and fruit reception was provided. Thank you again to all the volunteers that helped make this event a success!
