Congratulations to all the music students who participated in the conference Solo and Ensemble Festival last Saturday! Everyone put in a bunch of hard work to perform solos, duets, and trios. They all stepped out of their comfort zone and were judged on what they prepared. Thank you to all of our amazing accompanists as well, who learned many piano pieces to perform with the students!
