It is time to recognize some recent student achievements. On October 29, twenty-eight students from the studio took the Texas Music Teachers Association Student Affiliate Theory Test. Music theory is analogous to engineering. An engineer knows how to take iron, cement, glass, pipe, steel and wood to create a building. Likewise, a student who understands music theory is able to take apart the elements of music and re-assemble them in their performance. The good news - all 28 of my students passed the Theory Test! Some had scores worthy of medals.

- Sam L, 1st grade
- Katie Lynn E, 2nd grade
