The deadline for applications is Feb. 29.

Lizzy Cox and Cameron Jeffries attended the Kentucky Music Teachers Association State Convention at Centre College on Oct. 20. They participated in the Elementary Audition Workshop, which consisted of playing two memorized piano pieces for an adjudicator. They also performed at a recital later that afternoon. Cox and Jeffries were eligible for the event because they had received a superior rating at the CKMTA Keyboard Festival last spring. They are pictured with their piano instructor, Beth Cochran.
