ASC Piano Competition

2021 ASC PIANO COMPETITION

A record 214 entries from 11 ASC schools were received as part of the ninth annual ASC Piano Competition.

The competition has seven categories based on AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board) equivalent grades, and a novice section.

With the entire 2020 competition held online, 2021 competitors outside of Perth who were unable to attend the competition day at Peter Moyes Anglican Community School (PMACS) were still able to take part with digital entries. Thirty-three digital entries were received from Cathedral College Wangaratta in Victoria and Georgiana Molloy Anglican School in Busselton.

The overall winner for the second consecutive year was Swan Valley Anglican Community School student Jordan Scott.

Special recognition was given to students who had competed in five or more ASC Piano Competitions, including two PMACS students – Joscelyn Melendez and Bobby Yang – who had competed in all nine competitions.
