IAR Music Students as Empowered Learners Северный региональный музыкальный фестиваль


On December 9th, eighty-five (85) music students from Irving A. Robbins participated in the 2023-2024 Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA) Northern Regional Festival auditions at King Philip Middle School in West Hartford, CT. The students were required to perform scales, prepare a song, and demonstrate their ability to sight-read a passage of unknown music in under a minute for a pair of adjudicators. Throughout the preparation process, students independently practiced using recordings and criteria provided on the CMEA website at home. They worked with music teachers during lessons to explore rubric criteria and set goals for practice, given self-assessment of their progress and teacher feedback. Students received a graded rubric with detailed feedback from adjudicators on their technique and music literacy demonstration. IAR music teachers and administrators are proud of all eighty-five students (85) for their resilience and agency in preparing for the audition. 

Fifty-two (52) students qualified to participate in the Northern Regionals Middle School Festival on March 8th and 9th, 2024, at Plainville High School.
