Young keyboard player -      and he played well! Nice hats Competition time with aQuellé


In a competition such as this the task is made simpler by using a score sheet which has different criteria:
Accuracy (correct notes, time, values and intonation)
Tone (quality, control, naturalness)
Diction (pronunciation of words, significance)
Rhythm (life, freedom)
Phrasing (shape, flow, melodic line)
Interpretation of the song - Is the message conveyed to the audience? Is it clear? Is it a gospel song?

  Year 2000 winners:

Listen to "Izembe" by
Fishers of men


Difficult task: The judges Chief Judge


A point of interest was that the winning group took part in the same competition last year, did not win, but noted their weak points on the score sheet and subsequently improved on these things and thus won this year - well done!

The day was a huge success and enjoyed by all. Our sincere thanks to our valued sponsors, aQuellé..
