Atlanta Piano Fortissimo

NFMC Federation Festival:

What is Festival?

NFMC Festival is a non-competitive annual event that provides students with opportunity to perform in front of a judge and receive a valuable feedback and points.

What are the requirements?

Great thing about Federation Festival is that do not have to wait till your student reaches a certain level. Festival program is designed for students starting from Pre-primary level to Advanced. Students who had a minimum 1 year of lessons should be able to participate, but it is always a great idea to talk to your instructor if you are not sure prior to signing up.

How do students get ready? What are song requirements?

Participating students will learn and perform two songs in front of a judge. One song must be picked from official NFMC Bulletin and another one is choice piece. Required and choice pieces must represent the same level of musicianship. Your instructor will help to determine student’s level and select appropriate songs.

What happens on Festival Day?

Each student will have a set appointment with a judge anywhere from 5-15min (based on level), during which a student will play his selected pieces and get scored on a point scale from 1 (needs Improvement) to 5 (Superior). The judge also will also fill out a comment sheet and give it to student right after audition, so you’ll know the results instantly.

Each student will receive a certificate stating his score upon completing the exam.

Location/Schedule:

My daughters have been receiving piano lessons from Ms. Courtney for more than 2 years now and she is absolutely amazing. They have both grown in skill and confidence and we are so happy with our decision to take in-home lessons from Atlanta Piano Fortissimo. We also added violin this year with Ms. Faith, who is also a great instructor. Inna does an incredible job with all of the logistics of setting up lessons and also manages to host the most wonderful recitals!

We appreciate the convenience of Atlanta Piano Fortissimo and my daughter absolutely loves her instructor, Miranda. She is patient, gracious and has really bonded with my child. She is a graduate student, to boot. With all the activities of an 8 year old, it's great to have an instructor that comes to the home for lessons. 45 minutes is just enough time. My daughter has excelled in the past two years and really loves playing. Dodie Clasen

A great school and fantastic teachers. I am very happy with the results. My two kids have been taking piano lessons here for over a year now, and both have made a huge improvement. Our teacher, Mrs. Heijin, is very experienced and is an outstanding tutor.

We are so glad we chose Atlanta Piana Fortissimo for our daughter’s vocal lessons. Ms. Shelby is a knowledgeable and talented instructor. She pays attention to all the details including posture, breathing and vocal techniques. Ms.Inna has been great at guiding us if we have any questions. She organized a VERY memorable winter recital. It was a great experience for all of us. I will highly recommend them.

We love having in home lessons for our children. Scheduling is simple and we have enjoyed all the teachers we have worked with over the years - they are so good with children (and adults!). Couldn't recommend them more.

I cannot say enough great things about the staff and instructors at Atlanta Piano Fortissimo. My daughter, now 12, has been taking lessons for one year, and she's made a tremendous amount of progress during that time thanks to her instructor and the instructional style used. My daughter has also been given many opportunities to perform in formal recitals and at other performances. All of this together has resulted in a highly capable and motivated student who is poised to continue making progress! We love Atlanta Piano Fortissimo and will continue taking lessons for years to come!
