Dear ,

At Metro Music Makers, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to showcase their hard work, receive valuable feedback, and grow as a musician. After participating in various external programs, we saw a need for an evaluation program that welcomed all students—regardless of genre or style. This led to the creation of our Guitar and Piano Comps and Evaluation Program, designed to be inclusive, supportive, and enriching for students of all levels.

Coming out of the challenges of COVID, our leadership team took the initiative to develop a curriculum that would empower our students through performance and evaluation. The results have been incredible, and those who have participated have experienced significant benefits:

🎵 A Sense of Accomplishment – Performing and receiving recognition fosters pride and validates the effort put into learning an instrument.

🎵 Actionable Feedback – Our judges provide constructive insights, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement, giving students a clear roadmap for growth.

🎵 Performance Experience – Submitting a recorded performance requires focus, preparation, and precision. In many ways, recording a great take can be even more challenging than performing live! This process encourages students to refine their playing, develop resilience, and learn valuable recording skills.

🎵 Skill Development – The process of preparing, performing, and receiving feedback refines musicianship and promotes continuous learning.

🎵 A Resume Builder – Participation is a meaningful achievement for college applications and extracurricular portfolios.

🎵 Character Building – Overcoming performance challenges strengthens resilience and shapes a student’s confidence in their abilities.

We also believe in celebrating progress:

✨ Piano and guitar participants each receive a digital certificate, with an optional hard copy and an award button available for an additional fee. For guitarists, the button is perfect for their guitar strap, while for pianists, it makes a great addition to their sheet music tote bag!

Last spring, we successfully launched our Piano Comps and Evaluation Program, and we were thrilled with the results! Looking ahead, we are currently exploring the addition of a Vocal Comps and Evaluation Program later this year.

If your student is ready to take the next step in their musical journey, don’t miss out!

📢 Registration for Guitar Comps closes this Friday, and Piano Comps registration is open until later in March.

We can’t wait to see our students grow, perform, and shine!

Keep learning, keep growing, and let the music lead the way,
