Piano Students Take Top Honors at Competition

Piano students from Charlotte Academy of Music recently took top honors at the North Carolina Music Teachers Association Piano Contest held at Queens University. These talented students are Mikaela Anderson – State Winner, Melissa Olarte – District Winner, Meghan Speed – State Winner, and Hannah Williams – District Winner. Mikaela and Meghan were also invited to perform at the NCMTA Conference at UNC Chapel Hill this November.

Each student performed memorized pieces from the 18^th, 19^th and 20^th/21^st centuries before their adjudicators. Their piano instructors at Charlotte Academy of Music are Robin Love and Regina Ziliani.

All three of our daughters have participated in the SHINE musical theatre program at CAM, attending workshops, summer camp, and musical theatre lessons and shows. Every experience has been a positive one! Not only have they all had a great time, they have also developed skills and confidence, leading to a continued desire to participate more fully. The leaders have been stellar, the shows have been challenging and fun, and we, as parents, have been delighted to see the results of our investment in their participation! Our girls can’t wait for the next opportunity to SHINE!
