Congratulations!

EOP Competition

2019 (was not held in 2018 as the competition is now in March and previously had been in October. Unfortunately, because of a storm earlier in the week, one student had to pull out of the competition. 

6 students participated. Christiane was first place in her division. Charlie received a second place. Nathaniel and Evelyn received third place. All the participating students did a wonderful job preparing. The junior violin division was particularly competitive this year.


2017 - 8 students chose to be in the EOP competition - a small local but growing competition. Divisions are decided by age and instrument. All 8 placed in their divisions!  2 First places - Charlie and Aidan; 3 Second places - Christiane, Nathaniel, Ema; 3 Third Places - Evelyn, Amelia, Finn.


More importantly the students did great preparation and really enjoyed themselves at the event and the event activities. Feedback from students and parents about the event was very positive. Seems like everyone wants to do it again next year!


2016 - This is the first year for us participating in this competition. Two  students chose to participate. Both students did great preparation and  placed in their respective groups.! Nathaniel was third in the junior  violin division and Evelyn was first in the junior viola division!

Scottish Fiddle Competition

2016 This  is a wonderful fun event where students are given a compilation  (set)  or two of Scottish Fiddle music to prepare and then perform in  front of  judges. Only one student chose to participate this year but  Finn placed  first in his division!


2017 Wow! This is always a fun event. Three students chose to prepare and enter. All three placed! Charlie placed 2nd in the 3rd - 5th grade division. Amelia placed 3rd in the 6th - 8th grade divison and Finn placed 1st in the 6th-8th grade division.


2018 Congratulations to the 6 students of mine who participated this year. I love that the number of my students doing this event keeps growing. Charlie placed 3rd in his division. Finn, for the third year in a row, placed 1st in his division.


2019 Three students chose to participate. Many students were on fall break from school on the day of the competition. The students were all in different divisions and all placed. Finn was awarded second place; Charlie 3rd place and Kiara received a joint 1st place award. Kiara's award is particularly awesome as she has only been playing a year and it was a long piece. She did a fantastic job of memorizing and preparing. Congratulations to all of them!
