Glenridge fifth grader Aiden Kim competed virtually in the State Piano Competition through the Missouri Music Teachers Association Honors Auditions.

This year, Kim was a winner among fifth grade participants in the State of Missouri which is the highest achievement of the state competition. Kim was a winner in 2016, 2017 and 2019 as well.

Pre-collegiate entrants, such as Kim, in the district level MMTA Honors Auditions were held in late September. The participants receive a rating of I, II, III, IV or V. Those receiving a I rating only can play in the State Auditions - Kim passed the District Audition and was a winner in the final round.
