I'm pleased to announce that the winner of the COMPOSITION contest is Mary, who demonstrated with her composition (titled "composition2013") great understanding of musical structure and style.
The runner up of the COMPOSITION contest is Jerecho, who used the steady beat, performance poise, dynamics and technique that he learned during his last year of piano study to play us "Thunder-Clap."
While composing is a noble skill, sometimes you just have to be goofy. There was a contest this summer to showcase the goofy side I get to see of all of you in lessons on a weekly basis! I'm pleased to announce that the winner of the CIRCUS CONTEST this year is Pauline. Her humorous use of a balancing routine while still incorporating beauty and accuracy in her performance won her first prize.
And the runner up of the CIRCUS CONTEST is Anne Marie, who chose a very difficult skill to demonstrate her daring abilities at the piano!
Congratulations to all of you!
I must say that it was difficult to choose winners in these competitions, and I couldn't have done it alone. Everyone's entries were worth sharing multiple times and each time I watched, I was reminded of why I teach piano. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who participated, and let's goof around with composition and circus tricks more in lessons this fall! Deal?
