Festival

Thirty-five students of Mrs. Corine Maldonado at Starr Music Academy were awarded Superior (I) ratings at the Magic Valley Music Teachers Association Festival this past November.

The MVMTA Festival is an adjudicated event where students perform a memorized selection for a judge and receive comments and ratings on such aspects of their performance as musicality, accuracy, expression, and technique. Judges rate each performance on a scale of I to III with a I or Superior rating being the highest. All of the Starr Music Academy students who participated this year were awarded this highest level of achievement, qualifying them to participate in the Texas Music Teachers Association All Star Festival in June.
