Adams Music Conservatory hosts Studio Festival!

Maple Shade, October 2009- The Adams Music Conservatory recently held a studio festival sponsored by the Music Teachers National Association.

The festival is designed to provide a non-competitive means of evaluating a music students progress. The student performs and receives supportive critique from a musician other than his or her teacher. Nineteen (19) vocal and piano students participated in the festival.

The festival is an invaluable teaching tool, says Izabela Adams. Not only does provide my students with feedback from another music teacher, it serves as a gauge for my teaching. Izabela Adams is a member of Music Teachers National Association.

MTNA is a nonprofit organization of independent and collegiate music teachers committed to furthering the art of music through teaching, performance, composition and scholarly research. Founded in 1876, Music Teachers Association is the oldest professional music association in the United States.
