Virtual Piano Festival
2021-03-06
The 13th Annual Community Music School Piano Festival will be virtual this year! Adjudications will take place on Saturday, March 6, 2021 via ZOOM. This will be another performance opportunity for your child and a goal for the winter season – great for practice motivation!
Each student will play two memorized pieces of music for our guest adjudicator and will receive a trophy or ribbon (depending on the rating given by the adjudicator) as well as written comments on his or her performance. Important: Students who perform their solo pieces for the festival adjudicator WITH music will not be eligible for the honors recital.
Students who receive the highest rating at the adjudication may be asked to perform on a special Festival Honors Virtual Recital on Friday, March 19, 2021 at 7pm via ZOOM. This is optional – it is not mandatory for those students asked to perform to do so – only if they wish. Please check the box on the Festival Registration form if your child would like to perform on the honors recital if selected. You will be notified by your teacher if your child has been selected to perform.
The cost will be $12.00 per student. Please complete the online Piano Festival Registration Form below and submit payment no later February 28, 2021. Due to the nature of scheduling the individual adjudications, we cannot accept registrations after the due date.

CMS Live: Musical Story Hour featuring Little Melba and Her Big Trombone
2021-02-06 10:00 - 10:30
Join us on Facebook Live for Musical Story Hour featuring the book Little Melba and Her Big Trombone written by Katheryn Russell-Brown and illustrated by Frank Morrison.
Melba Doretta Liston loved the sounds of music from as far back as she could remember. As a child, she daydreamed about beats and lyrics, and hummed along with the music from her family s Majestic radio. At age seven, Melba fell in love with a big, shiny trombone, and soon taught herself to play the instrument. By the time she was a teenager, Melba s extraordinary gift for music led her to the world of jazz. She joined a band led by trumpet player Gerald Wilson and toured the country. Overcoming obstacles of race and gender, Melba went on to become a famed trombone player and arranger, spinning rhythms, harmonies, and melodies into gorgeous songs for all the jazz greats of the twentieth century: Randy Weston, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and Quincy Jones, to name just a few. Brimming with ebullience and the joy of making music, Little Melba and Her Big Trombone is a fitting tribute to a trailblazing musician and a great unsung hero of jazz.
