I am very proud of my students working so hard and performing so well today. Reading judges comments praising their technique precision , musicianship, and interpretation was very humbling for me.
You guys all excelled at sight reading even- the hardest part of the test since we never know what at it is gong to be.
I also thank all parents for tremendous support. You all got “outstanding” as well.
