Sydney Withers-Cott with Michel Fournier |
This week five of our piano students participated in the 2015 Sault Ste Marie Music Festival at the new Algoma Conservatory of Music location on Huron St. This year's participants were Sydney Withers-Cott, James Schuster, Alyssa Stevens, Kaija Karhi and Katja Karhi. All five young pianists performed well and since the classes were small this year, each of them got to spend a significant amount of time with the adjudicator at the piano for some constructive tips. Concert pianist Michel Fournier of Montreal was the adjudicator this year, and he interacted exceptionally well with the students. It was a positive and productive experience for the students and the teachers who attended.

Fourteen Performance Awards of Distinction were awarded in the junior division this year, and two of our very own Lessons in the Loft students were listed as recipients! Congratulations to Alyssa Stevens and James Schuster for being named on the list for their "exceptional performances". We are very proud of you for receiving this honour!
