Good morning,
Each year, my studio holds a Piano Olympics for students wishing to take part
in a piano competition. There are various events, but the high point is
probably the Composition Division, in which students compose an original piece
which is evaluated by a judge. This year, twelve students took part, and they
all used SONAR to create their musical works. The results range from the
humorous or spooky to the truly beautiful. The students ranged in age from 7
to 17 and ran the gamut from beginners to advanced.
This year's Composer of the Year was a 9-year-old who created a piece for koto,
shakuhachi, oboe, vibes, percussion and synthesizer. We're all looking forward
to what she and others will compose next year.
