All students presented polished performances from memory and demonstrated high levels of technical proficiency across all divisions. Guest adjudicator for the competitions, Dr Kirill Monorosi from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, was particularly impressed with the outstanding standard of piano playing from students in Yrs 3-12, commending all competitors on their overall musicality and stylistic interpretation of the repertoire. At the conclusion of each competition, students were presented with their awards by the Principal, Dr Peter Lennox and Head of Early Childhood, Mrs Audrey Fellowes.

The team of Piano tutors here at Redlands includes Ms Julia Booth, Mrs Annette Houghton, Mr Zi-Hao Li, Mrs Alla Rozumiak, Mrs Helen Worthington and Mr Jason Xu. Thanks are also extended to Ms Arienne Brodie and Mr Mathew Owen for their assistance in selecting finalists throughout the audition process and in mentoring these young pianists in order to achieve a high level of performance and presentation.
