Seneca Valley Flautist Wins State Music Competition

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA - Seneca Valley junior and flautist Elizabeth Salgado took first place in the Senior Woodwinds Division in the recent Music Teachers National Association Young Artist Competition.

She won the state round three years ago in the junior division.

Salgadoi previously made it to the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) state level bands as a sophomore. This year, she was the top-scoring musician at Honors Band and will be going on to the district level to begin the journey to the state level once again.

“Every performance is an exciting opportunity to continue working toward my long-term musical goal as a classical performer,” she said in a district release.

The purpose of the MTNA Performance competitions is to provide educational experiences for students and teachers and to recognize exceptionally talented young artists and their teachers in their pursuit of musical excellence.
