SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE: Liv Jones and Eliza Grace Jones performed May 1 in the National Piano-Playing Auditions sponsored by the National Guild of Piano Teachers, teacher division of the American College of Musicians. Auditions were held at First Baptist Church in New Bern. Liv received a “Superior” rating in her audition and Eliza Grace received a “Superior minus.” Both students performed two memorized pieces in the local program and passed with excellent report cards.
