--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 is the clinician? We are thrilled to announce not one, but THREE clinicians this year! We have lined up some top tier educators and musicians for you:

• Greg Ferguson, director of the Olathe Youth Symphony and retired school orchestra director of many years.
• Doug Talley, local favorite jazz saxophonist and educator, and former band director at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School for many years. He has recorded several albums.
• Jeff Shirley, local jazz artist and former guitar/fretted instruments instructor at REW Music, and has recorded his own album.

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