Clarinet Student Receives Second Place in Division Competition

Harper Golden, master of arts in clarinet performance, was recently awarded second place in the West Central Division Round of this year’s Music Teachers National Association Young Artist Woodwind Competition. After winning the Missouri state round in November, she competed against the state woodwind winners from Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota by recording three contrasting pieces with Kihwa Kim, Truman collaborative pianist. If the division winner is unable to compete this spring at the MTNA conference, Golden will have the opportunity to compete in the national round.
