Congratulations!

Guitar student Chris Staton has been accepted into the University of North Carolina School of the Art's High School program! This program offers young artists (grade 8 through college) a chance to focus on their art and prepare for a professional career in the arts, while also providing a broad, well-rounded academic education.

Although the school was not accepting new incoming students in his grade level, they made an exception for Chris based on his talent and skill as a guitarist. Chris studies with Master Teacher Kevin Dollar, who has been with The Music Academy since 1995. You can read Kevin's bio on our webpage here. Visit his website at http://www.swingtriade.com/ to learn more about his performances in the community, including his work with Swing Triade, a trio specializing in gypsy jazz.
