Starr Music Academy Students Shine at TMTA Conference in Waco
This past June, students from Starr Music Academy showcased their talent and dedication at the Texas Music Teachers Association (TMTA) Conference held in Waco. The event, which brought together music students and educators from across the state, provided an opportunity for students to demonstrate their skills and engage with fellow music enthusiasts.

A group of talented students participated in various events, including the digital keyboard orchestra, which allowed them to collaborate and perform as a team. Their hard work and commitment to their musical education were evident in every note played. The experience not only highlighted their achievements but also fostered a sense of community among young musicians.
