Events
Evaluations
Junior Music Experience Evaluations are held in April and November each year. The most recent Evaluations were on April 24, 2010 in seven locations around the Greater Cincinnati area. The next JME Evaluations are scheduled for November 20, 2010. The registration fee per student is $25.
.
Entries must be submitted by participating teachers. The deadline for registration for the upcoming Evaluation is October 15, 2010. If you are a student who would like to participate in a JME Evaluation, please ask your teacher to contact JME for information.
.
Evaluations last approximately 15 minutes. Participants are evaluated on musical criteria appropriate to the curricular format of their lessons: how well they play and — according to the student’s experience — including timing, dynamics, accuracy and fingering.
.
Students are not judged on the style of music they play. The Directors believe that all forms of music should be encouraged — classical, popular, religious, country, rock, jazz and so on. Students receive a written evaluation in each of the competency areas with appropriate comments from the judge, who also awards an over-all score of one to five points. Each participant will also receive a ribbon representing their point total (5 / Superior, 4 / Excellent, 3 / Very Good, 2 / Good, and 1 / Fair) as well as a personalized certificate.
.
- Participants who earn a Superior rating can be recommended for an additional award at the discretion of their judge. In addition, students who continue their music education and enter more than one JME evaluation can accumulate points to earn additional awards.
