The Successful Music Makers piano group hosts a festival every February where students are adjudicated by a piano educator from another area. When the students are critiqued, they are rated for up to 5 points. 5 points is a Superior rating, 4 is an Excellent, and 3 is Good, and 2 is Fair. Trophies usually take students 3-4 years to earn. Local piano teachers who are interested in sending their students to this festival are welcome to do so. Please contact Christie Gergen.
