Achievement in Music Piano Festival ~ Mishawaka, IN

On November 5th, nearly 100 piano students from the South Bend area participated in the Achievement in Music Festival held at Bethel College in Mishawaka, Indiana.  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).

Six students from my piano studio participated this year.  Preparing for the festival involves lots of extra practice time and dedication.  Once they completed their theory test, they got to join me in the game room for some musical bingo and hangman.  Congratulations on a job well done!

• Camille A
• Anna B (100% theory score)
• Mark B
• Megan B

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

• Anna B
