From the Bayport-Blue Point School District: At this year’s Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association Division II East Music Festival, James Wilson Young Middle School eighth-grade clarinetist Jessica Schaller was presented with a scholarship to further her musical studies.
Jessica will be attending the Crane School of Music’s Youth Music Program at SUNY Potsdam this summer, where she will immerse herself in a robust two weeks of musical instruction. While there, her studies will include performing in band, chamber ensembles and chorus, as well as attending master classes and music theory classes.
“It was a pleasure to be able to recommend Jessica for this scholarship, as she is an extremely talented clarinetist and vocalist who completely immerses herself in music,” said James Wilson Young Middle School music teacher Matthew Hurst.
