Seventeen local piano pupils from the class of Margaret and Ed Korczynski, in McAfee, have registered as candidates for membership in the National Fraternity of Student Musicians, sponsored by the National Guild of Piano Teachers, Teacher Division of the American College of Musicians, of which their teachers are members. This group of young pianists performed in the National Piano-Playing Auditions, which was held at the home of Pat Ozmeral, in Sparta, and qualified for Pledge, Local, District, Hobbyist, Duet, Ensemble, State, National, or International honors. The American College of Musicians evaluated the students’ performances based upon their presentation of baroque, classic, romantic and modern works. Each student performed in the presence of a professional adjudicator, Dr. Lyna Ottero, chosen by the national organization, who examined their repertoire. Students in the photo are: Jinan Andrews, Meredith Berry-Toon, Suji Choe, Sebastian Cook, Olivia Coyle, Ryan Fieldhouse, Gina Fusco, Alex Kochman. Philip Kochman, Kristen McCormack, Eileen Mitchell, Anna Murphy, Clint Roe, Mikhaila Sanchez, Grace Shimeall, Emily Wojcik and Alexis Van Dunk, who are joined by Margaret and Ed Korczynski.
