MTAC SFEV BRANCH NEWSLETTER – March 2018
Subject: Piano CM reminders
From: Nicole Nale (nicolenaleclassical@gmail.com)
Date: March 10, 2018
I apologize for the late email, posted below are some reminders for
your parents in the morning, who have children performing.
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Make sure your students DO NOT bring in UNAUTHORIZED photocopied
music to CM Evaluations because they NOT BE HEARD by an Evaluator and
shall automatically receive a “Remain-at-Level” rating. This is a CM
policy. The ONLY exceptions are copies to facilitate page turns (an
original score must be present) and photocopies for confirmed
out-of-print material. Confirmed out-of-print material must be
accompanied by written permission from the publisher. If a student HAS
NOT MEMORIZED a piece, the student must provide a second original
score for the Evaluator. A photocopy MAY BE USED as a second score
ONLY if it shows it has been purchased on line / or has an on line
authorized logo or source.
2. Missed Evaluations or Late-Arrivals. If a student arrives late (ex.
10 minutes late) or arrives after their assigned Evaluation time is
over the would be considered a NO SHOW. Only if the evaluator makes AN
EXCEPTION to hear the rescheduled student can the student be
evaluated. The evaluation would then be rescheduled during another “no
show” slot or at the end of the day. The Evaluator does not have to
agree to hear the student. I CANNOT make any promises or guarantees
that the student will be heard. PARENTS AND TEACHERS ARE STRICTLY
PROHIBITED FROM ARRANGING RE-SCHEDULED EVALUATIONS WITH AN EVALUATOR. A STUDENT MAY BE DISQUALIFIED IF THIS OCCURS.
3. Remind students to number the first line of each measure.
4. Students should have their songs in the order they want them to be
heard.
Thank you!

Good evening teachers,
I only received a handful of responses for the meeting planned for
tomorrow, and a majority of those were not able to attend, so I will be
canceling the meeting for tomorrow. Those who did respond that they would
be able to join, I have already reached out to personally. Those of you
who had any questions pertaining to the upcoming exam, please feel free to
contact me directly. Please mark your calendars for April 10 as I would
like to have a full length meeting then with as any members as can join!
Remember that the registration deadline for the branch Bach Festival is
tomorrow! Make sure you have double checked all of your students’
information correctly!
We have two positions on the board that are going to need to be filled,
membership secretary and treasurer. This is a great opportunity for a
couple of our members to step up and try something knew and add to your
skill set! Please let me know if you have any interest in filling either
of these positions for next season.
Thank you all,
Nicole Nale
