Competiton Results

My students have won many competitions and awards.  They are regularly chosen for District Choir, Honors Choir, and All-State.  Many of them are accepted into Governor's School.  They receive college scholarships at prestigious universities, and go on to perform in national tours, regional shows, operas, and community choruses.  Some have become music educators.  Often, my students' achievements include finding ways to keep music alive as an avocation while they pursue other vocations. 

Below are detailed results from competitions.

Testimonial

"Mrs. Smith provides an extremely supportive learning environment in her studio, which was absolutely crucial to my development as a performer. She always encouraged me to work hard to reach my goals and never give up on my dreams. Without Mrs. Smith’s constant wisdom and compassionate teaching, I would never have gained the confidence, opportunities, and success that I have today.”

- Amanda Mason
