Operational Requirements & Timeline for Teachers and Directors
Solo and Ensemble Folder: Directors are requested to share at least two intermediate standard S&E repertoire pieces. These will be compiled by Tina Gorter into a Google folder by October so pianists can begin preparing for the spring.
Choir Directors: Please share fall repertoire with Tina Gorter as soon as possible to give pianists a head start.
