We are just now wrapping up our Spring Grade Exams at CGC Academy. As always, there were some wonderful submissions. And we always relish the opportunity to pause and celebrate the many accomplishments of our members.
To that end we are happy to share one of our Grade 1 submissions with you. The video below is from the Grade 1 submission of Academy member Aiko Higuchi (who was recently interviewed by Roger on the CGC Academy Member’s Podcast). Aiko joined the Academy back in August and was a complete beginner when she joined. We believe the video below shows just how much hard work and dedication pay off. Aiko’s playing is confident, well-controlled, and very musical. Congratulations, Aiko! (And, yes, she did pass her exam!)
Beautifully played, well done
Congratulations on all you have accomplished at CGC, Aiko! You have been a ray of sunshine at the academy. It will be a delight to watch you continue to shine! Your playing is beautiful, so full of depth, musicality, and conscious thought.
All the best wishes for your journey!
Thank you for that beautiful performance. You just inspire me to work harder to get to your level thanks.
