THE
BELLEVUE/PAPILLION MUSIC TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION (BPMTA)
-
The Bellevue/Papillion Music
Teachers’ Association
has 21 members, all teachers with private studios. Eleven
of these teachers are active members of the Nebraska Federation
of Music Clubs.
-
Our
Association meets 8 times a year and sponsors 4 main events for
Bellevue and Papillion private music students.
Keyboard Karnival: Every November we
sponsor the Keyboard Karnival – a Sunday afternoon of games, tests,
prizes, food and a store. Music theory events turn into fun
for beginners to early advanced students as they participate in one
of ten levels of competition appropriate to their level of study.
Recitals:
We join forces to present two recitals during the school year – in
December and in April. A few students from several studios
provide a varied and interesting program.
Junior Festival:
The Federation Festival in the spring is our largest event with
approximately 175 entries. Students play pieces for a judge
and receive a rating and a comments sheet. We have entries in
piano solo, piano duet and trio, hymn playing, theory, vocal music,
and band instruments. Students earn certificates and points
toward trophies provided by the National Federation.
Scholarships:
In the spring the Association awards at least (sometimes more than
one) scholarship to a qualified senior from one of the studios who
is registered to be a music education or music performance major in
college. The amount of the scholarship varies with the number
of eligible students and the amount of money available in the fund.
All scholarship money is disbursed and is not used for any other
purpose by the club.
