Junior Festival 2011

On-line Registration Instructions (for Piano)

 Registration begins January 29^th and ends February 2nd  

IMPORTANT! Register your students as soon as possible because times are assigned on a

"first come, first served" basis.

Read ALL INSTRUCTIONS before beginning the registration process.  There are several specific notes dealing with entering data (SCJM, Hymn, Folk, rooms etc). 

Organizing Your Student Information: 

Have all your student information at hand, including: name, birthdate, number of points earned in previous years, level, repertoire, and a requested time.  The form provided in this newsletter may help you organize this information and is available on the website (www.lvmta.org) - click on "Jr. Festival Student Tracking."  When you download it into Microsoft Excel, you may click on the tabs at the bottom of the page to view a legend that explains the form, a master copy, and an example. 

Junior Festival Student Tracking worksheet -- pdf -- (print if you prefer to enter information by hand)

Group students by family and level, keeping in mind that students in the same family may need to be in more than one room (according to their levels) and will need at least fifteen or twenty minutes between their times to allow them to get from one room to another.  There are two level groupings: 1) PP through E-IV and 2) Medium through Musically Advanced II.  Therefore, a family with children in P-I, P-IV, and E-II will be able to remain in the same room and play one after another.  However, a family with children in E-II and D-I will have to go to two different rooms, with ample time between. 

Please make sure that all information you type in is accurate and spelled correctly.  Your student's rating sheets and participation certificates will be printed using the information that YOU provide.
