The Studio Stars of the 2011-2012 school year have been decided and I'm happy to announce that the winners are Natalie Rehkemper and Katie Schneider!
Natalie has proven to be a committed piano student by making strides in developing the ability to practice in a goal-oriented manner and solve problems at the piano on her own. She took that focus and motivation and worked very hard over the summer break. To recognize this achievement, Natalie is being awarded one free piano lesson in which she can choose anything she wants to learn at the piano and her choice for where she plays in the order of this year's studio recitals. Congratulations Natalie!
Katie, this year's second place winner, has continually proven herself to be a committed student with a passion for music. She has been working on musicality, stage presence, and calmly facing passage-work without too much frustration. I have seen her make great improvements in these areas and I love listening to her play. Katie is also being awarded one free piano lesson in which she can choose anything she wants to work on at the piano. Congratulations Katie!
All of my students are eligible for these awards, which are given yearly. Both Natalie and Katie take lessons at Sherwood and if you see either of them in the studio or the hall, please congratulate them on the hard work they've put in this year!
