Music Rally
The NDMTA Music Rally is a wonderful teaching tool for setting piano student's goals. It promotes skills that will benefit the student throughout his/her life. Music Rally is a noncompetitive event for piano students of all ages and skill levels.
Details
Students are given great opportunities for musical growth. Music Rally theory/technic workbooks, which contain lesson-by-lesson goals, are available for the students to use throughout the year. These help the students become competent in all areas he/she is being evaluated.
Music Rallies are held once a year by a sponsoring local association. On Rally Day, students participate in written and keyboard exams and perform two contrasting pieces of music for adjudication.
