Eva Martin Hollaus and Shanti Ryle

Eva Martin Hollaus and Shanti Ryle. Shanti's National Guild of Piano Teachers High school Diploma Certificate and the MTAC Certificate of Merit, Branch Honors and Graduating Senior Plaque. As time flies, Shanti has been my student since January 2000. This year marks Shanti's 10th Gold Medal Piano Guild Certificate. "Thank you, Shanti, for staying with piano; you are an amazingly accomplished all-around artist. The very best of luck to you in your music and drama career - wherever it may take you, you will shine. Congratulations!"

Shanti Ryle completed her Piano Guild High School DIploma Certificate

I am very happy to announce that Shanti Ryle of Temecula, CA completed her Piano Guild High School Diploma July 30, 2011. Shanti Ryle has been studying with Eva Martin Hollaus since 9.5 years. This is Shanti's 10th year in the Guild auditions with her 10th gold medal program. The requirement for a gold medal is to present a 10 - 15 piece program memorized and well prepared and performed.
In order to be able to participate Shanti needed to get her program approved by December last year, she needed to be in 12th grade and meet all technical and program qualifications.
Shanti completed her examination with flying colors. She performed a very demanding program that included the entire Beethoven Sonata "The Moonlight", the J. S. Bach WTC II f minor prelude and fugue, the Scott Joplin Waltz Bethena, Debussy Claire De Lune and Bruyeres, Lecuona Cordoba and the Rachmaninov Etude Tableaux op 33 no 8; besides all Major and minor scales, chords, cadences, inversion, modulations, arpeggios, sight reading and ear training.
Shanti also was awarded the graduating senior medallion and certificate in the advanced level in the MTAC Certificate of Merit (TM) earlier this year.
Congratulations to Shanti's outstanding accomplishments.
