SUMMARY:Adult Student Rehearsal Workshops--December
DESCRIPTION:DETAILS\nIn a friendly and welcoming environment\, we talk about our pieces\, perform for a warm and supportive audience\, and learn how we can develop our playing through constructive suggestions. We also enjoy each others’ company\, support each others’ journeys\, and have fun! \nThese are open REHEARSALS\, not recitals. We expect to hear pieces that are “in progress” in addition to those that are more “complete.” We welcome interested and serious students to share even brief sections of pieces. We want to hear\, share\, and celebrate the process of students’ learning and incremental progress. \nApplication Requirements\nWorkshops are held select Sundays of most months. Choose which workshops to attend: we welcome students to attend just one class\, or a handful\, or all classes. To register\, send an email to ahorowit@yahoo.com. There is no fee. Register any time up until the Wednesday before the workshop. \nEmail Deadline\nThe Wednesday prior to each workshop. Because space is limited\, registration may close earlier than this deadline if the workshop is full. \nEligibility\nIn order to enter NTMVA student events\, either the teacher or student must live in Northern Virginia\, or\, the lessons must be taught in Northern Virginia. The class is primarily for adults. Sometimes\, youth ages 16-17 can participate. Please email ahorowit@yahoo.com for questions about eligibility.

SUMMARY:Nancy Breth\,  "New World Symphony: harmony\, discord\, conflict\, resolution and joy in the life of a transfer student and his teacher"
DESCRIPTION:April 21\, 2021: Nancy Breth\, “New World Symphony: harmony\, discord\, conflict\, resolution and joy in the life of a transfer student and his teacher” \nA walk through the all-important first year as The New Teacher: making the interview count\, setting up for success\, creating a safe environment\, forging partnerships\, getting down to business\, managing surprises\, building trust\, celebrating success. \nNancy O’Neill Beth teaches piano and chamber music in Arlington VA and Washington DC. Soon after joining NVMTA in 1982\, Nancy and fellow newcomer Jacqua Yeomans joined the board as co-chairs of the Fall Festival. This was the first of numerous board positions she would hold over the years\, and also the first of many treasured friendships with NVMTA members. She is also a longtime board member of WMTA.  \nNancy collaborates with teachers at home and throughout the country. She’s headlined a number of state MTA conferences\, and 2020 marks her fifth appearance as a presenter at MTNA’s national conference. While Nancy is proud that some of her students have been successful in competitions\, even up to the national level\, her primary goal is to help all music-loving students build the skills they need to become lifelong pianists.  \nNancy’s latest project is Effective Practicing\, a collection of short You Tube videos for pianists. Her book\, Practicing the Piano\, two Guides on Effective Practicing and a chamber music volume\, are published by Hal Leonard.
