WSMA is dedicated to providing the best festival experience possible for students, teachers, and parents. A key part of this commitment is maintaining a team of highly-trained adjudicators. Adjudicator workshops are essential for refreshing skills, reviewing expectations, and ensuring a positive and consistent experience for all participants. These workshops also offer you a valuable opportunity for professional development and a chance to make a lasting impact on young musicians.
