2025-2026 wrap up!

As another school year comes to a close, I am overwhelmed with pride for the students of RJR Music Studio.

This year brought incredible accomplishments, memorable performances, and tremendous personal growth. Every student in the studio earned a Superior rating at Solo & Ensemble, a reflection not only of talent, but of dedication, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence.

Our students were recognized at the district, state, regional, and national levels through honor choir selections, vocal competitions, musical theatre productions, and academic scholarships. Studio members earned Superior with Distinction ratings, Critics Choice awards, placements in prestigious ACDA Honor Choirs, leading roles in musical theatre productions, top finishes in major vocal competitions, and acceptance into outstanding collegiate music programs with scholarship support.

While awards and recognitions are exciting, what makes me most proud is the growth that happened behind the scenes. Every singer entered the year with different goals, challenges, and dreams. Some focused on building confidence, some expanded their vocal technique, some prepared for auditions, and others simply discovered a deeper love for music. Each student found success because they were willing to put in the work.

At RJR Music Studio, we celebrate excellence, but we also celebrate effort, resilience, artistry, and community. Our studio family continues to inspire me every day, and I am grateful to be part of each student's musical journey.

Congratulations to all of our singers on an extraordinary year. I cannot wait to see what next season brings!
