Studio Awards

Spring 2015
Studio Awards will occur during each Spring Recital. The purpose of these
awards is to reward hard work and dedication. Each student has an opportunity
to earn an award. The Technique Awards and Memorization Awards can be
earned by any student who chooses to work to achieve them. The Most Improved
and Honor Student Awards will be awarded at my discretion.
