Secondary Music News – Secondary Piano Competition Update

Freshness of sound, colourful work, use of sonorous pedal-points, the crisp and intense combination of technical finger-control work along with splashes of pianistic colour, all came together to create expressive and artistic piano performances at our recent Bangkok Prep Secondary Piano Competition.

Congratulations to all participants for preparing their pieces and for showing such bravery for committing to the competition format and stepping up to present your piano item to experience that moment of ‘playing in front of an audience’. You all deserve a round of commendation, so be very proud of your efforts and be encouraged to keep going!
