Esther experienced her first adjudication!  She prepared two pieces to play for a highly respected pianist.  She did an amazing job and learned a lot!  Very proud of her to preserve and be critiqued.  It’s a very intimidating thing to do.  She did an amazing job!

From her piano teacher about the process:

Jeff Gilliam from Western WA University in Bellingham. After you play your 2 pieces for him, he will work with you in a sort of mini-lesson way and you will learn a great deal from his teaching. I have known Jeff for many years and am just so pleased that he will be hearing my students this year.
