Dynamic Duo

Congratulations to Hailey Wallgren and Karl Henry!  Hailey and Karl traveled to Spearfish, South Dakota to compete in the South Dakota Music Teacher Association Senior Piano Duet Competition and placed 1st in their category!  Their program included Sonata in F Major by JC Bach, a Waltz and Polka by Dmitri Shostakovich, and Le Pas Espagnol from the Dolly Suite by Gabriel Faure.  Both students practiced diligently on their repertoire the past few months.  Hailey chose the Primo part and shone through with lyrical melodies and her amazing skill with trills!  Karl added dynamic vibrancy and momentum to the secondo part.  Karl and Hailey are looking forward to studying and performing more duets in the upcoming year.
