McKenzie with her amazing teacher, Betty
McKenzie recently participated in the California Music Teacher's Association's Certificate of Merit Auditions. It's a very difficult audition, complete with sightreading, scales and arpeggios, and 3 memorized classical pieces. Then she took a written theory test, which took her over an hour. She was surprised to get the message on the phone from Betty, her teacher, that said that she got 5 plus on each area, including her sightreading and 91 % on her written test and was invited to play for the honor's Recital! There were about 300 that auditioned in this area and 40 students invited to play for the recital. We were very proud of her- she worked hard this year! It was fun to see all those amazing (and all asian- descent- except for McKenzie) pianists play at that recital. McKenzie was in good company- they were ALL AMAZING!
