Area students participated Saturday in the District 6 Kansas Music Teachers Association Music Progressions at Hesston College.
Students participating included Ben Baumgartner, Mikaela Needles, Anna Sauder, Tara Harms-Becker, James Conner, Kyle Huxman, Julia Sauder, Courtney Unruh, Phil Kliewer, Peri Lange, Jessica Conner, Jacob Humber, and Caitlyn Conner.
Adjudicators were Stephanie Brunelli of McPherson and Wendy Stevens of Topeka.
Teachers involved in the event were Karla Conners, Lillian Harms, Beverly Richards, and Deborah Toews.
The annual test provides a musical event to evaluate the progressive growth of all students — those studying music as a hobby or those wishing to be professional musicians. In addition to performing on the piano, each student is tested in areas of listening, keyboard theory, and written theory.
