PMEA Adjudication/Music Performance Assessments
PMEA Adjudication provides a structure for directors to participate in and/or host Music Performance Assessments (MPA's) for the following performance contexts: Band, Orchestra, Chorus, Jazz Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, and Solo/Small Ensemble. Unfortunately, Adjudication is not yet established in PA with only large ensemble MPA's available in some PMEA Districts.
District 1 has been a leader in offering MPA's, with several events offered throughout an Adjudication 'season' that normally occurs between March and May. MPA's are also offered in District 5, just a short drive away for many D1 ensembles.
The current Adjudication Calendar as well as all guides, forms and resources supporting Music Performance Assessments may be easily accessed on the PMEA website at http://www.pmea.net/adjudication/
Tom Snyder, instrumental music teacher and Arts Coordinator at West Allegheny SD in District 1, has been the State Adjudication Coordinator since 2004. Contact Tom with any questions about participating in or hosting a Music Performance Assessment within PMEA Adjudication at tsnyder@westasd.org or (724) 816-0420.
