54. It is the responsibility of the Festival discipline directors and all teachers involving students in the festival to make themselves aware of the rules and regulations set down in the official syllabus of the Provincial Festival (PERFORMING ARTS BC). A printout of the rules and regulations is available from their website at www.performingartsbc.ca 55. PLEASE NOTE: To qualify for the Provincial Festival, a student must enter 2 solo classes in one discipline. PABC considers a Concert Group (consisting of 2 or 3 pieces) as 1 class only, therefore he/she must enter 1 Concert Group plus another Solo Class – or – enter 2 (or more) separate solo classes. 56. At the end of each discipline, the adjudicator may recommend participants to the Provincial Festival of the PERFORMING ARTS BC. Decisions are the sole prerogative of the adjudicators.

From Honolulu to Yellowknife and Montreal to Mumbai, Murray Nichol enjoys an active schedule of adjudicating, examining, and conducting master classes and workshops. More recently he has traveled to Colombia, Brazil, India, and Myanmar as an advisor to the Vancouver Biennale, an international arts organization that uses art as a catalyst for dialogue, learning, and social action.
As a senior examiner for Royal Conservatory Examinations, he examines in both Canada and the United States. He has also participated in the University of British Columbia’s Music Alumni Mentorship Program in Vancouver where he has mentored undergraduate and graduate music students.
Mr. Nichol is passionate about working with young musicians, especially pianists. A well-respected teacher (some of his students have received Royal Conservatory regional medals for highest marks in the province of British Columbia), he spent fifteen years at the Tom Lee Learning Centre where his students consistently won scholarships for their polished playing. He inspires pianists of all ages to imagine -- and achieve -- their best.
Having graduated from Brandon University with a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance (with Greatest Distinction), Mr. Nichol completed a Master of Music in Piano Performance at the University of British Columbia where he studied with Jane Coop, Dr. Henri-Paul Sicsic, and Rena Sharon.
A member of the British Columbia Registered Music Teachers’ Association, the Music Teachers’ National Association, and the Canadian Music Festival Adjudicators’ Association, Mr. Nichol is an MTNA Nationally Certified Teacher of Music.
