Chloe is a four-time, first-place winner of the annual SJMTA (South Jersey Music Teachers National Association) Technique Competition and a seven-time High Honor awardee from both the NJMTA and the SJMTA’s annual spring recital auditions. Audrey is a five-time first-place winner, also of the annual SJMTA Technique Competition, and three-time honorable-mention awardee of the NJMTA’s annual young musicians competition.

Both sisters play at local and community events in South Jersey. 

The national winner of the Senior Piano Duet Competition earns a cash prize and will perform in a winners concert during the MTNA national conference. The three-tiered competitions begin at the state level. Winners of each state contest advance to the video-only division competition, whose winners then proceed to the national competition finals.
