<STRONG>Jessica Wei Zhu</STRONG> winning first prize in the Collegiate Young
Artist Piano Competition sponsored by the Music Teachers National Association

national finals were held in Denver, Colorado, at the national convention of
the MTNA on March 31, 2008. In order to compete in the final level of the
competition, Ms. Zhu won both the Texas state level competition and the South
Central Division competition of MTNA. Seven finalists from across the nation
were invited to compete in the final event. The grand prize includes possible
