We also hope that each of our students knows that their worth and future as a pianist is NOT dependent on competition results. While winning is nice, it’s also important to recognize the progress we can make when we put our minds to it and really work hard! So congratulations to everyone who participated – we hope you’ll choose to do so again next year!
