Syosset Sophomore Aaron Liu was honored by the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) for his accomplishments as a pianist. He was one of a dozen students throughout the state of New York selected for the 2022 NYSSMA Piano Showcase held in Rochester in early December.

To be chosen to play at this prestigious recital, a student must first achieve a score of 100 on a NYSSMA Level 6, which is the highest level of difficulty that can be performed. Once a student has received this score, they must then submit an audition recording to a panel of musicians who then select the students for the Showcase.

Congratulations Aaron on this amazing achievement!
