In case you're wondering why I haven't posted since the Easter break, it's because I've been adjudicating piano classes at the
Edmonton Kiwanis Festival. This has been a fascinating week, and I've heard a lot of fine young pianists with lots of promise. But what made adjudicating so special this time around is that for nearly all the Grades 4-6 classes that I judged, the pianists had new and interesting repertoire. Very rarely did I hear the same piece twice, and I think that this variety of repertoire reflected well on both the teachers (who showed inventiveness and creativity in choosing unique rep) and students (who were inspired by some truly fine music).
Then again, I wasn't thinking about music for the entire time - here are photos from some of the places I managed to visit in the last few days.
