Sharon Music Academy Hall Of Fame Welcomes New Members
End of the school year is the time of many local, state and international competitions. As with any competitions, which don't have an objective criteria for a victory, like say marathon, it is very difficult to win. Those of us, who watch figure skating or gymnastics, know that sometimes some intangible details of a performance can make a big difference. In these competitions each performer, besides a perfect technique, needs to demonstrate some very special qualities to stand out. And the only way to achieve it is through hard work and perseverance.
Each year students of the Sharon Music Academy take part in these competitions and always bring home prizes and awards. And this year is not an exception. Twenty five students of the Sharon Music Academy became laureats of the American Fine Arts Festival and performed at various concert halls in New York City. Congratulations to all our students, whose effort and dedication to music resulted in these remarkable achievements.
