Information for Participants
Welcome to a JME Evaluation!
We hope the experience is fun for you.
There are a few things you should know.
At the Evaluation
Try to relax — just do the best you can.
- The judge, who is a teacher like your own, will have you play your piece(s), ask you to sight read some music (it will be easier than what you’re playing now) and ask you a few questions.
- Your evaluation should take about 15 minutes.
- The judge will fill out an Evaluation Form and give it to a JME Associate.
- The Location Manager (or a JME Associate) will give you your certificate, a ribbon and a copy of the judge’s Evaluation Form.
If you’re unable to participate
If you become ill or if there is a serious family emergency and you cannot participate, please contact JME as soon as possible.
JME does not issue refunds for any reason.
To receive a trophy or other award
attend the Award Ceremony (see “Events”)
Before the Evaluation
- Be sure to read the JME Rules and Regulations.
- Don’t ask your teacher or the Location Manager to switch your time, and don’t switch your time with a brother, sister or friend who is being evaluated at a different time. Please take our word for it — you’ll really mess up the schedule!
- Take your music with you to the Evaluation even if you have memorized your pieces. No photocopies, please, unless your teacher can provide you with written permission from the publisher to be given to the Location Manager, NOT written on the music.
- You may use printed music downloaded from legitimate Internet sources, but you must provide a note from your parent or teacher verifying that the music was purchased legally.
- Make sure you know where your Evaluation is being held. Arrive at least ten minutes before your scheduled time to register. NOTE: If you have participated before in a JME Evaluation, don’t assume you are playing at the same location this time!
- If you aren’t on time, we will still have to follow the schedule. With so many people participating, we won’t be able to “fit you in” if you’re either late or early. You will be permitted to play only at your scheduled time.
Location MapsMake sure your teacher gives you the location for this Evaluation (it might be different from one you visited previously). Then click the location name below for a map showing that location.
Note: These are high-resolution PDF files suitable for printing. They will open in a separate window. After you are finished viewing and/or printing the map, return to this page by closing that window. |
