Students Accomplishments-------------- (always in progress)

I am so proud of students when they work hard and accomplish their goals! 

Great job!!!

In 2009, a Bowen Boyack, a 7 year old student wrote a piece which was orchestrated and performed by the McLean Symphony.  His composition was chosen through the Alma Grayce Miller Composition Contest hosted by NVMTA.  The recording is live from the night of the performance and begins with a delightful interview between Bowen and the Symphony director, Mr. Dingwall Fleary.  The music starts at 2:35. Enjoy!

Here a little bit more about Bowen.  At this point, he had demonstrated perfect pitch and had a remarkable memory for tunes.  He was intrigued by musical patterns and sequences and was thrilled to have his creation orchestrated.  He had no pets of his own at the time, but often played with imaginary pet friends.
