Senior Music Conservatory Student to Pursue Music in College

Senior Anna Rodgers will follow her passion for the arts in college. Rodgers auditioned for a spot in the Ritter Family Classical Guitar Program at the University of Colorado and was accepted.

“I started teaching in the conservatory in 2017, the year guitar was added as an option for the students. Anna was among the original guitar students, and she studied with us until she started high school,” said Quint Olsen, Conservatory Instructor. “Anna was immediately one of the brightest talents in the program.  She plays so musically and with such expression … and she is easily the best sight reader I have ever worked with. I’m really proud of all she has accomplished.”

Melissa Scott, Music Conservatory Director, added, “I am especially proud of Anna for her dedication this year. “Her success spotlights the Music Conservatory in a wonderful way, and her partnership with Quint is a great example of the value of private music instruction.”

Director of Fine Arts Chelsy Beninate initiated art signings at the School last year. “Celebrating students who chose to continue an artistic passion in college should be a tradition each year,” she said. “We are fortunate to have a school that values the arts, and we hope our students continue to be patrons and participants of the arts throughout their lives.”
