Yes! This is one of the ways that MACSA is set apart from other community music schools and private piano instructors. MACSA Piano students have won top prizes in ALL piano Texas competitions over the last 25 years too many times to count, hundreds of our piano students have performed in Carnegie Hall in New York, performed over 50 times as concerto soloists with the San Antonio Symphony at both the Majestic Theater and the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, been featured multiple times on performance and interviews on Texas Public Radio and performed four times on National Public Radio’s Showcase of the best classical performers in America “From the Top”.
Additionally – MACSA students have been accepted and received BM, MM and DMA degrees from the top music schools in the world including the Eastman School of Music, the Juilliard School of Music, etc. Many MACSA Alumni are now performing all over the world and are bringing music to a new generation through professorships at major universities such as the Northwestern School of Music.
