On Saturday, John and Mary competed at Charlotte Piano Teachers Forum ("Forum"), where John received wonderful praise as a contestant who has "arrived" and is "so musical," now the "big threat," and Mary placed First in her division of sixty contestants! This was her first blue ribbon in her years of music and she will get to play at the Winners' Recital in May.
Both siblings scored perfectly in Theory and only one point apart in their Piano scores. More than any score, ribbon, or trophy, we are so pleased with their diligence in practice, perseverance through challenges of learning, as well as graciousness in performing.
The pieces they performed were the same they played at NCMTA last weekend, which you can listen to here.
That’s incredible!!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve a lot of credit, too!
You’ve worked really hard, too, for many years now to help the kids get to this point!
Fantastic job again, and many congratulations! It is lovely that all of you can enjoy this hard-won evidence of the many hours of work to reach this musical prowess. It also looks like David can’t wait to show his stuff when the time comes!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lauers on another musical success! Most deserved and well-earned. Bravo!
