Scale Olympics

SCALE OLYMPICS 2012

 

This is an off-year for Scale Olympics -  an amazing event that gives piano students the opportunity to set goals in the areas of technique and theory.  Students may enter any number of the eight events offered:  Scales, Cadences, Arpeggios, Triads, Harmonization, Transposing, Sight Reading, and Theory.  Each event is offered at nine levels of difficulty so even beginners can participate.  Students are awarded ribbons, based on points, for each event they enter.  Students entering all eight events have the opportunity to receive one of the two top awards.  The Blue Rosette is awarded to students receiving Blue Ribbons in all eight events; the Yellow Rosette is awarded to students with 104 or more points.

NEW in 2012

Scale Olympics is scheduled to take place two months earlier than it has in previous years.  Please take this into consideration as you prepare your students for this event!
