Thank you to all who submitted practicing photos for this year’s contest. Our three judges have chosen a winner, despite the difficulty for choosing.

This year’s winner is… Andrew P.! Here’s what the judges had to say about Andrew’s practice photo:

"I think Andrew was soaring to new heights this summer, minions below (and on his violin) with a lovely bow hand and fierce focus!!! His picture is my favorite!” - Mrs. Lisa Barca-Hall, Violin (California, USA)

"I love not only the Andrew's setup but admire his focus on the bow staying on the highway. The background is pretty cool too!” - Mr. Aaron Lofaro, Strings Teacher and Orchestral Conductor (Connecticut, USA)

"I love his hand positions and his look of intense concentration. I love how the flowers on his shirt blend in with the flowers on the balcony in juxtaposition with the buildings in the background." - Mr. Philip Ventre, Orchestral & Band Conductor (Connecticut, USA)

A very huge thank you to all our judges this year. Your support for the students of Best Music is undying across the continents!
