The AGM Newsletter took a brief hiatus and has been reborn with a clean new colorful look to go a long with the brand new logo and re-branding that began last year. Up until now the newsletter was published solely in print form. Now it will printed periodically in print form and be emailed to you more often in electronic form. As you may have realized, we are collecting emails addresses of students and email addresses of the parents of students so we can create new electronic vehicles to disseminate information quickly and efficiently so that everyone will stay up to date with the AGM information. Our new format will allow us to keep up with the times and speed up news to you in these fast paced times. At the contests if a change takes place that we need to let everyone know about, instead of posting it to a bulletin board , we will send it directly to your smart phone, tablet or computer. Please have patience as all of the changes we have planned will take time and be rolled out in phases. 2015 was a big year for AGM. We shed our 501c4 designation and became a 501c3 organization. this will allow us to start taking tax deductible donations from donors so that we may start to offer more scholarships and grants to our members. We can now apply to various organizations for grants to help us implement future programs such as a new improved examination program, operating grants, and technical grants to help us transfer in to the electronic age with tablet scoring. We created a new modern colorful logo that changed the look of the organization immediately. With that came a brand new website that let people find information more freely and gave us a whole new web look. With that we obtained a grant from Google to help us move to the top of search engines so we can get our message out. As a result we have more hits to the website and we are gaining more new members than ever before. The next two phases of the website will include a store where you can purchase AGM merchandise, and a online teacher directory where you as AGM members can advertise your studios A brand new score sheet will make its debut at the 2016 contests. It is a mixture of comments and check boxes and students will be graded on accuracy/precision; tempo/pulse/ fluency; technique; articulation; phrasing; dynamics; tone/balance; character/style, performance style/stage presence. Thus the teacher and student should be able to obtain more useful information about their students performances. We are excited about all these changes, and we hope that you will be too.

Every student who enters the National Contest is automatically entered in the All Around Contest. For each event that the student participates in they are given points. The more events that they enter the better chance they have to win the title All Around Musician. The student gets points for competing in solos, duets, groups, taking a theory test, writing essays, joining cadet teachers, convention orchestra or convention choir. The more you do the better your odds. Of course you have to practice, as first place gives you 10 points, second place - 8 points, third place - 6 points, fourth place - 4 points, 5th place -2 points. The entire point total can be found on line in the syllabus.

I am fourteen years old and a freshman at Plainfield East High School in Plainfield, IL. I am a percussionist for the curricular and competitive marching band, and concert band. I play the piano for the jazz band, school musical, and I accompany the choir on some occasions. In order to continue being active in church ministry, I play the piano for the Holy Youth Fire Ensemble at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Bolingbrook, IL. I have been studying piano with Mrs. Perla Cudal since I was nine years old and eventually started competing at the AGM competitions since I was eleven years old. I wasn’t looking forward to competing on my first year because I would get really nervous and I didn’t know what to expect. After winning many awards at my first AGM competition, I was motivated to join again, and on the same year, I got interested into doing keyboard and started taking lessons. After winning the 2013 All Around for Piano and Keyboard and the 2014 All Around for Piano, I wasn’t expecting to win another one. To my surprise, I won the All Around Piano for the third time this year. I am very honored and thankful to receive this award. I would like to thank my family, friends, and duet and ensemble partners for all of their help and support. I would like to thank my impressive piano teachers: Mrs. Perla Cudal and Mrs. Cora Francisco for their hard work and guidance over the past few years. I would also like to give a special thanks to my keyboard teacher, Nikki Tolentino, for all of her hard work and guidance this year. Without these people in my life, I wouldn’t have won the All Around Piano again. Last but not least, thank you AGM for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this exciting event! Through my AGM experiences, I have had the chance to meet many talented and amazing musicians/friends. I love competing at the AGM because it has helped me become a better musician today. 2015 All Around Keyboard Champion Hi! My name is Raegan Watson and I am the 2015 Keyboard All Around Champion. I am 8 years old and live in Clinton Township, Michigan. I have one brother, his name is Andrew. I take piano and keyboard from my mom, Rachel Watson. I like keyboard because you can do a lot of fun sounds and do, my favorite, Sequenced Keyboard, which has a background for you to play with. It sounds really cool. I am going into 3rd grade and am homeschooled. We are really busy with activities. I go to a Homeschool co-op, am a member of American Heritage Girls and am a competitive Irish step dancer. I take Irish Dance at Ardan Academy of Irish Dance. I have two pets. Our dog is Peppermint Paddy (we call her Mooey) and our cat is Daisy Mae. I like to draw and read A LOT! I like AGM because you get to meet friends from around the world and see friends that you have already met before. I don’t usually care if I win, but like to see others winning. When my name was called as winner, I felt like it was a dream. I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Rick Chizmadia for making AGM more fun than ever. My name is Marienne Go and I am 12 years old. I am this year’s AGM All Around Vocal Champion! This award did not come easy. I worked hard for it, months of preparation and hours of practicing, not to mention my family’s time & effort bringing me to and from the studio. This is my second year competing AGM. I am representing the Keyboard Touch of Mrs. Lori Graves. Ms. Lori has moved to Florida, but has continued to work with me with the help of Ms. Melissa for voice and Ms. Susan Del Rosario for Piano. I absolutely love singing. I enjoy playing piano too. I started singing when I was very young. My Mom enrolled me to piano & voice lessons when I was about 5 years old, it was just fun & play for me in my early years. I was 8 years old when I started going to The Keyboard Touch. Mrs. Lori was the one encouraging her students to join AGM, and I want to thank her for that. Participating in AGM has given me the stressful but joyful feelings and memories of competing and having and gaining friends from the studio. I owe my success from Mrs. Lori Graves, Ms. Melissa & Ms. Susan. I also owe my trophy to my family, but most especially to my Mom, who even with her hectic schedule, have to find time to drive me back & forth to the lessons & group practices. And lastly, I thank the Lord for the talent and all the blessings He has given me. 2015 ALL AROUND CHAMPIONS CONCERTO FINALIST 6 Band Instrument Saxophone Champion-Marvin Jiang-Kevin Peters Piano Junior Champion-Tayu Tobai-Drummond Studios Senior Champion-Katherine Lee-Faye Mao Strings Cello Advanced Champion-Christopher Soo-Paul Wingert 2015 NAIC FINALIST Classic Guitar Champion-Nikhil Baddam-Limelight Music Keyboard Champion-Erin Villaflores-Perla Cudal 1st Runner Up-Nadia Burke-Rachel Watson Sequenced Keyboard Champion-Erin Villaflores-Perla Cudal 1st Runner Up-Ryan Gracia-Perla Cudal Piano Classical Champion-Maple Xu-Faye Mao 1st Runner Up-Katherine Lee-Faye Mao Violin Champion-Alan Sun-Kyoko Kashiwagi 1st Runner Up-Airi Kinoshita-Kyoko Kashiwagi Vocal Broadway Champion-Kayla Nagy-King School of Music 1st Runner Up-Rachel Rossini-Rosie Lopez Violin Junior Champion-Kosei Sugawara-Kyoko Kashiwagi 1st Runner Up-Sakurako Hamaguchi-Kyoko Kashiwagi Senior Champion-Anna Sun-Kyoko Kashiwagi 1st Runner Up-Airi Kinoshita-Kyoko Kashiwagi Advanced Champion-Alan Sun-Kyoko Kashiwagi 1st Runner Up-Alexandra Soo-Yoonshin Song Vocal Classical Champion-Kayla Nagy-King School of Music Vocal Pop Champion-Breanna Russell-Evola Music 1st Runner Up-Abbey Johnson-Sherri O’Connor Piano Pop Champion-Matthew Wu-Faye Mao 1st Runner Up-James Jiang-Faye Mao WHAT MUSIC MEANS TO METhe winning essay by Kayla Odasco The Keyboard Touch Music, what is it? It can’t be just sound. A noise, a voice? Is that what music is? to me music is like the lullabies of sweet melodies rocking me to sleep as a kid. Music is like that friend that convinces you that you’re never going to be alone. Even at your hardest times. People say that when words fail, music speaks. Music says the words that I can’t say right out in the open. When I play the piano, each key that I press makes me feel like I’m slowly painting a story, a new adventure. When I play or just listening to music on my own it takes me away to a place where troubles don’t exist. It takes all the tension of the day away for even just a few minutes. Some if I’m feeling down it just makes me happy again. You can tell a lot about someone just through their music. It can show their mood, or can even describe you as a person entirely. Music is more than just a noise, a voice, a pluck of a string, a breath. It’s an endless range of possibilities and wonders. Music has been apart of my live for a really long time now, and I’d like to keep it that way.
