Eisteddfods provide a competitive and high-pressure environment to compete against other pianists in a similar age group. They are recommended for high-achieving and ambitious students, though they often also have non-competitive categories if you also just want to try for fun.
In Victoria, you get four major eisteddfod opportunities close to Melbourne below.
You are strongly encouraged to sign up as early as possible, as places often sell out quickly. You will need to signup by yourself, signups are not done by the teacher.
It is important that you discuss with Isaac before signing up to make sure you are ready, and have signed up for the correct category based on your abilities.
