Popular Post Dicentra Posted June 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2015 Dd was informed by letter a few days ago that a composition that she submitted to Canadian Music Week Student Composer competition won at the provincial level for her age category and will be forwarded on to the National Competition this summer!!!! So proud of my dd I could burst!!!!! :D (P.S. Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. Crazy busy end-of-college-school-year and end-of-homeschool-year stuff going on. I think there's stuff I need to check out and take care of on the pinned threads - I'll get to it, I promise. :) ) 61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicentra Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 That's awesome! And if you sig is correct, you're in quite the populated province as well!!! :party: Thanks for sharing - I love sharing in our Hive kid successes! My sig is correct but she entered in Manitoba instead of Ontario. :) Her vocal teacher (she entered a vocal composition with piano accompaniment) is registered as a music teacher in Manitoba and part of the rules were that you had to enter under the province in which your teacher is registered. I imagine her composition will come up against MUCH stiffer competition at the national level. :) She received a written adjudication from the provincial adjudicator which was great in providing feedback and she even won $75! :) I tried to convince her that she should share it with me since DH and I are the ones that pay for all the lessons, music books, exams, etc. ;) She said, "No." :D She's looking forward to continuing on with her composing, as well as with her piano and voice. She'll be heading to music camp this summer - one week of music composition camp and one week of piano camp. I'm looking forward to see what she creates for next year's competition! :) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quark Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Wow! I was just recalling the video you had shared with us with DS last night, about the way your DD seemed to be calming herself before playing. DS sometimes needs a reminder to take a deep breath and make sure his bench is in the right spot (long legs) etc before he starts playing. And now your news...such a lovely coincidence! Congratulations from the both of us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS sometimes needs a reminder to take a deep breath and make sure his bench is in the right spot (long legs) etc before he starts playing. And now your news...such a lovely coincidence! Congratulations from the both of us! :D We worked on that a looooooooooooong time. When she was younger, she'd almost run up to the piano, plunk herself down, and just start playing. I started getting her to do performance "run-throughs" at home where I would sit on the couch and play the part of adjudicator. I would call her name and she would have to walk up to the piano SLOWLY :D, sit down, take the time to adjust the bench, take some deep breaths, and then remember to LOOK AT ME before she started playing. :D 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicentra Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Update!! (I'd also update the thread title but I can't figure out how. :) ) DD just received word today that she placed third (honourable mention) in her category at the National Competition!!! :D She received great feedback from the national adjudicators and says she most definitely wants to enter again next year. :) DH and I are so, so proud of our girl!!!! 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
