2024 Student Education Sessions March 3, 2024

The 2024 Student Education Sessions were held March 3, 2024 at the New Community Church, 1100 Middle Ave, Menlo Park, CA.  Eighteen student members participated in this year's Student Education Sessions (SES). SES is part of the American Harp Society, Inc.'s Music Education Auditions and Evaluations Program. The students record two varying pieces that are evaluated by an adjudicator. After a month of practicing and using the comments to improve, they perform in a recital. This is a wonderful opportunity for the students to play their pieces and to hear the other students play. We are very proud of their progress. Dr. Jennifer Ellis was our adjudicator this year. (D.M.A. University of Michigan, M.M. Cleveland Institute of Music, B.M. Oberlin. harpellis.com). SES was coordinated by Sonya Yu, our chapter SES Director and Youth Ensemble Director. Special thanks to our chapter teachers Esther Lee, Dominique Piana, Janice Ortega, Linda Rollo, Sonya Yu, and Dan Levitan for encouraging their students to participate.
