Berry Music STL

BERRY MUSIC STUDENT CHALLENGES AND CONTESTS 

2022-2023

This session/year at Berry Music STL has been a blast! 

To add to the fun, I decided to create several studio challenges and contests to help motivate my students to explore their music theory and piano technique exercises with more diligence!

Some of my students have really responded with enthusiasm and have reaped the reward of receiving a gift card to Target or amazon!

I am so proud of their hard work and dedication!
