South Bend Piano Lessons | Achievement in Music Festival

On November 6th, 120 piano students from the South Bend area gathered at Bethel College in Mishawaka, IN, to participate in the Achievement in Music Festival (AIM).  This non-competitive adjudication involves taking a written and aural music theory test, playing scales & other keyboard skills, sightreading, and a performance of two prepared pieces (one memorized).

Nine students from my piano studio participated this year.  They put in a lot of extra practice time to prepare, and all received high marks from the judges.

• Camille A (100% theory score)
• Anna B (100% theory score)
• Mark B
• Megan B
• Alyse C (100% theory score)
• Claire C
• Joseph D
• Hadas K
• Yarden K (100% theory score)

These students also received ratings of "Excellent" in all three areas on which their playing was judged (keyboard skills, sightreading and repertoire):

• Anna B
• Mark B
• Joseph D

Congratulations for a job well done!
