CMSP is pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 Katherine Jameson Piano Scholarship, named for CMSP’s first piano teacher. The winner receives a full year of piano instruction in honor of Mrs. Jameson.
This year’s winner is Rachel Abernathy, a 7th grade student and talented young musician. Rachel has studied piano with Dr. Szymon Czerniak for three years, and she also studies violin and piano. Taking lessons at CMSP has allowed Rachel to develop a greater appreciation for music and a deeper understanding of the repertoire that she learns.
In Dr. Czerniak's letter of recommendation he wrote "Over the last two years Rachel has taken on the works of great masters, especially composers like Chopin and Mozart. Her performance of Mozart’s Fantasie in d minor, K. 397 at last year’s spring concert was exceptionally beautiful and I considered it one of the highlights of the concert."
Rachel intends to use her musical talent to give back to the community by performing for charity and church events. She looks forward to performing with her family for Christmas dinner at her church this year!
Congratulations Rachel!
