Workshop
Learning Center students receive superior ratings in music
Musicianship was on the line recently as the students of The Workshop
Learning Center instructed by Michelle Drees participated in the
District XI Ohio Music Educators Association’s High School Solo &
Ensemble Contest. “Diligent practice and attention to detail are
crucial in preparation for this event,” commented Ms. Drees, their
instructor, “and they must perform at the highest level to receive a
superior rating “I” from the judges.” She noted that even a rating of
II, excellent, meant the student had performed well above average.
Students receiving a superior rating were: Alex Vehre - Piano &
Violin, Andrew Strait – Piano.
Students receiving an excellent rating were: Noah McCabe – Cello,
Stevie Allen – Violin
Well known pianist in the community, Terri Fryman, accompanied several
of the students in their performances at the event.
This event gives music students an opportunity to challenge themselves
to improve and raise their level of skill and musicianship, according
to Ms. Drees. Each student is judged at their own level, making it an
event where everyone can improve and succeed.
Junior High Solo and Ensemble Contest will be held on April 16th in
Bellefontaine. The Workshop Learning Center has several students
participating in this event as well. A recital was be held on April 2nd
at 2pm to help students prepare. The recital is free and open to the
public and gives students experience in performing before an audience,
