Congratulations to Mia Zhang – Honorable Mention Winner at the Bay Area Piano Competition! 🎹🎉

I’m beyond proud to share a wonderful achievement by my talented student Mia Zhang, who recently received an Honorable Mention Diploma at the prestigious Bay Area Piero International Music Competition! 🌟

Competing among many gifted young musicians in the age group 5–6, Mia stood out with her expressive and confident performance of “Crystal Falls” by Robert Vandall. Her musicality, strong technique, and natural artistry deeply impressed the judges, who recognized her as a truly gifted and musical young performer.

🎵 Every note Mia plays reflects her love for music. At just six years old, she demonstrates a level of sensitivity and stage presence that is rare and inspiring. Her talent shines through with clarity and grace, making every performance an unforgettable experience.

Mia has also been invited to perform at the Winners’ Concert in July, and we are so excited to hear her share her music again on that beautiful stage. This is a wonderful honor and a testament to her growing presence as a young pianist.

One thing I’ve always admired about Mia is her extraordinary ability to focus. At such a young age, it’s rare to see a student who can devote herself so fully to the process of learning, but Mia does it with passion and joy. She is able to learn long, challenging pieces, and she can practice for hours, driven by her deep connection to the music. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her motivation seems to grow with every measure she plays.

💖 I’d also like to recognize Mia’s incredibly supportive mom, who plays a key role in her musical development. Her dedication to Mia’s daily practice and growth has helped shape this success, and I’m truly grateful for our partnership.

✨ Congratulations, Mia! I’m so proud of you, and I know this is just the beginning of many beautiful musical experiences. Keep shining, keep learning, and keep loving the piano. And congratulations to your wonderful parents as well!

With admiration and joy,
