Whilst there are proposed day(s) for scheduling outlined on this document, please note this is for initial planning purposes only. These days cannot be confirmed until entries are closed and the scheduling has been completed
Award Criteria
It is important to note that the award criteria used by adjudicators are to provide feedback to an ensemble regarding the ensemble’s performance of chosen repertoire at a particular moment in time. The award system is not, nor should be, used to make comparisons between ensembles within a section, nor between schools across the festival. Please careful read over the QCMF Award Criteria.
Expectation of the QCMF Community
Aim of QCMF: Improve the Quality of Music Education.
The QCMF community is passionate about music education. We achieve this aim by coming together to transform hearts and minds through music, in a safe, accepting and challenging educational environment.
We realise that to improve educational outcomes, we need to challenge ourselves and each other to be better reflective practitioners. We do this in a respectful and inclusive manner and by sharing a uniting ethos and a common set of expectations.
