Congratulations to all of my flute private students who have advanced to phase 2 in Region 13 & 17. 🎉🎶 This year has definitely been a challenge for both me and my students. We switched to online individual flute lessons and group masterclasses completely since March. I lost over half of my private students. Some of my students I was only able to hear play during a group class this past semester. Despite all of these challenges, my students have stepped up, kept up the dedication, and have continued to succeed. I am so proud of them! ⭐️
Congratulations to the Region 17 Shadow Creek High School Flutes 7 of those students advanced to Phase 2. And My two private students got 1st chair piccolo and 1st chair Freshman band.
Congratulations to my Region 13 private students. 15 of my students are advancing out of the 30 total! 2 of my students won 1st chair in their audition rooms.
Let’s see how phase 2 goes!⭐️🎶🎉
