🎹 A Perfect Sweep at the 2026 MTNA Festival
At Felicia’s School of Piano & Music, we’ve always believed that dedication, artistry, and individualized instruction create extraordinary results. This month, our students proved that once again.
We are thrilled to announce that all 11 of our students who entered the 2026 MTNA Festival were selected to perform in one of the official MTNA recitals. Achieving a 100% acceptance rate is a rare and remarkable accomplishment, and we could not be prouder of the hard work, discipline, and musical maturity each student demonstrated.
🌟 A Milestone Worth Celebrating
The MTNA Festival is known for its high standards and selective performance opportunities. Students prepare advanced repertoire, refine technique, and develop musical interpretation that reflects both skill and personal expression. To have every single entrant from our school chosen is a testament to:
- Their commitment to consistent practice
- Their courage to perform at a competitive level
- Their growth as young musicians
- The support of their families
- And the dedication of our teaching team
Each student brought something unique to the stage—whether it was expressive phrasing, technical precision, or a newfound confidence that blossomed during lessons and rehearsals.
🎶 Behind Every Performance Is a Journey
Preparing for a festival like MTNA is not just about mastering notes. It’s about learning how to listen deeply, problem‑solve, stay patient, and trust the process. Our students embraced every step:
- Weekly one‑on‑one lessons
- Technique development and musical shaping
- Mock performances and recital preparation
- Guidance on stage presence and artistry
Watching them grow from the first lesson to the final polished performance has been inspiring.
