The second annual Australian Guild of Music & Speech (AGMS) Virtual Festival is currently underway. Up until the June 25th closing date, we will be submitting video performances by students for adjudication.
Pieces can be taken from any exam syllabus; for beginners, I am using the St Cecilia Exams syllabus to pick appropriate songs.
For many of the students, this is their very first video performance and assessment! Students are awarded either Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum awards.
I will update this post as additional results come in.
Congratulations to the following students for their Awards!
