Piano students have the opportunity to participate in yearly National Piano Playing Auditions held by the National Guild of Piano Teachers. We also have our art students exhibit their work. Many of our art students have also participated and won awards in local exhibits, such as the Dutchess County Fair, and the New York State "Reflections" Program at our local public schools.
