Winner
Maddie was the winner in the Contemporary Music Piano Festival yesterday for her division, age 8-9. She will represent San Diego at the state level, San Francisco, in February. She performed Romance (from Puppet Dances) by Shostakovich and Two Ladies Gossiping by Khachaturian. This is a highly competitive event. Maddie was the only caucasian in her division. We are seeing this more and more in music. The Chinese-Americans are working harder and are in it to win. It makes for some tough competition. I am so proud of Maddie and all her hard work. It's not easy for an 8 year old (I guess technically she just turned 9) to focus and practice as long as it takes to be competitive in music.
