Gloria Ee decides to attend SOTA! (School of the Arts)

My student Gloria Ee, whom I nurtured from the beginner stage, got into SOTA (The School of the Arts) and decided to attend! Imagine how happy she must be and how proud I am.

For Her Audition
"The Marketplace at Limoges" from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition
Nocturne from Grieg's Lyric Pieces, Op. 54 No.4

Gloria's Journey
Gloria developed extremely quickly as a student. In the short two years I've had with her, her growth was staggering, both in scope and difficulty of repertoire. At her audition, she played a big program - and the Grieg was such a beautiful and lyrical nocturne as I've never heard before from a student her age.
