Congratulations to Mya for her acceptance into Auburn University on a Music Scholarship. Her dedication to years of study on Piano and Saxophone has paid off.  

Advice to other students: Music is a discipline even when it is a hobby.  I've taken piano for 3 years now.  When I need motivation to practice its usually because there isn't enough variety in my practice routine.  If you've been practicing a lot then take a break, especially after an audition.  It seems counterintuitive but taking a break from practicing can be a good thing.  I usually take a break after I've prepared an audition or at the end of a concert season.  Rest assured, your hard work isn't going to waste.  Even if you're not the next Floyd Cramer, the time you spend practicing won't be wasted.

What She's Learned:  I've learned patience, gained inspiration, expression, esteem and the importance of hard work.  I've also seen first hand how hard work and dedication pays off and you will too.
