We are very excited to congratulate and present the participants in our bi-annual Music Technique Skills-Building Scales & Studies Competition, judged by NBS faculty members Dr. Marianna Prjevalskaya (piano), Dr. Igor Resnianski (piano), Irina Rostomashvili (strings), and Dr. Meghan Woodward (winds).
The Nelly Berman School is proud to be one of the few community music schools in the United States to have a unique program like this in our curriculum and program offerings. We hope that this new program will become a vital educational experience for the NBS students. All of our Russian-trained teachers have themselves gone through the rigorous training of having biannual juries with studies, scales, arpeggios, and more, and our students will now carry on the traditions of this special training!
The Music Technique Skills-Building Program is open and encouraged for all NBS students, with guidelines currently posted for piano, violin, cello, clarinet, and oboe. Our next evaluative competition will be in May 2020. If you are interested in taking part, please visit our program page to learn more.
