JAMES WELCH,
CO-FOUNDER
Our team is constantly working to develop new outlets that provide musicians opportunities to learn, improve, and celebrate milestones. Currently we are hosting online competitions that provide each contestant with the expert feedback from professional musicians, and prizes ranging from our world-wide online showcases, to performing opportunities in some of the most prestigious performance venues around the world. We believe that it is important to recognize all of the instruction and support that went into the training and development of musicians. We also recognize the various rates of progress. Progress does not always happen at a steady rate. Progress may be quicker for some, and slower for others. Yet still progress may vary from person to person. As long as one is making progress, there will be milestones to celebrate.
Classical Music Auditions
Our Classical Music auditions are unique in that they provide a wide scope of short term goals throughout our 2 tier process.
Our first tier is non-eliminatory and includes feedback from our expert judges.
Each musician submits an application, and an online video of their performance.
Our judges share an evaluation with each musician.
Musicians are then given two weeks to practice and make improvements to their performance.
After the two weeks, each musician submits an improved video performance for our second tier.
The judges review each performance to determine the winners. Improvement between the first and second tiers are a highly considered variable in our selection process.
We strive to make our events and competitions positive experiences for each contestant, their teachers, and their families.
