Carol was awarded the Kiwanis Club of Riverdale scholarship. She also recently was named a winner of the annual Barwell Scholarship (for pianists who wish to commence organ lessons. This will cover a year of lessons.)

Most students are working very hard now toward exams, RCM evaluations or the studio concert on June 2nd.
Thank you for your dedication this year; you have all made great strides in your piano playing!
