Grant Event – Syllabus from a Teacher’s Point of View – Syllabus from an Adjudicator’s Point of View
Presenting District: Salem
Presenter: Heidi Evans, NCTM
Program Description: Heidi shares tips on preparing students for Syllabus exams at all levels and tiers, combining the perspective of a teacher of average students and the perspective of a Syllabus adjudicator to make the most of each student’s and teacher’s Syllabus experience.
Presenter Bio: Heidi Evans is a Nationally Certified Teacher with a Master’s Degree from Portland State University where she studied with Harold Gray and Mary Hall Kogen. In her nearly three decades of teaching experience with students of all ages and levels, she has adjudicated festivals and events around the state since 2005, was OMTA Syllabus Chair for five years, and currently occupies the position of President of Oregon MTA. She is a member of the 8-hand quartet, “Too Grand,” which has been performing and raising money for scholarships for nearly four decades. Her latest deep dive into piano repertoire research is music by under-represented composers with a focus on pedagogical works. Her ultimate goal is to teach each student to teach themselves, so that music can be a rewarding lifetime experience.
