Hello Silicon Valley Chapter members,

We are very excited to bring you our popular Student Education Sessions for the 4th year.  Sonya Yu has been busy organizing this year's event for Feb. 23 and March 23, with Jessica Siegel as adjudicator.
Please view the instructions and application in the attachment.  The application can be filled out online at:   https://www.123contactform.com/form-465396/Student-Education-Sessions-SVCAHS and your check sent in by mail.  Or you can print and mail the application, if needed.


Purpose:  Student Education Sessions” are a two‐part program for all levels of harp students.
The focus is on the improvement that can be made by participating in both sessions. On  
the first day, participants will play two selections of music representing differing styles (if
possible) and receive constructive comments and suggestions from the adjudicator. A
choice of several theory worksheets will also be given to each student to take home and
be completed with the assistance of the teacher. The worksheet must be returned in the
second session in order for the student to receive the final certificate. In the second  
session, participants show their improvement by playing the same two pieces of music
in a recital setting. Participants who attend both sessions will receive a handsome
“Certificate of Participation” from the American Harp Society.


Days & Time:  The session I will start at 11 am, February 23rd and session II will start at 1:30 PM on
March 23rd, 2013. Your performance time will be scheduled and sent to you after all the applications are received.
