--What is the REW Festival? The REW Festival is a wonderful opportunity for ALL levels of students, beginner through advanced, to gain experience playing for others and receive feedback from one of KC's most respected music educators! We put the focus on sharing music with others and ways to improve, rather than creating a scary formal performance environment.

--What happens at the Festival? At their designated time, each student will play their piece (it can be as simple as Hot Cross Buns or as complex as a district/state solo/ensemble selection). The clinician will make notes and comments and then take a few minutes to provide feedback and work with the student in a clinic type setting. This is a great opportunity for student growth, learning from an educator they probably have not worked with before.

--Can my student play more than one solo or ensemble? YES! Musicians may sign up to play more than one solo and/or ensemble piece - there is no limit to number of entries per person. If your student is going to play more than one solo or ensemble piece, you must fill out the registration form and submit payment for each individual entry (one piece of music equals one entry).

--Who are the clinicians? We are thrilled to announce 2 clinicians again this year:

• Doug Talley, Assistant Band Director at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School and Director of the SMNW Jazz Ensemble. Mr. Talley is also Director of the Advanced Bands at Trailridge Middle School and the Trailridge Jazz Band (Shawnee Mission). In addition to being an educator by day, Mr. Talley is a local favorite jazz saxophonist performing around town, whether with the KC Jazz Orchestra or his own quartet, and has recorded several albums.
• Elana Goldberg, Orchestra Director at Santa Fe Trail Middle School (Olathe, KS). This year marks Mrs. Goldberg's 34th year of teaching orchestra and strings in public schools! She has taught all levels from elementary school through high school students, and enjoys helping her students to grow into young musicians.

Cost: $20/entry | $10/entry for current REW private lesson & homeschool program students
