Music student earns national award
Article By: Agnes Hina
University of North Georgia (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) senior Sharon Tran was selected as one of four recipients of the Shannon Kelly Kane Scholarship, a 2023 National Association for Music Education (NAfME) Collegiate Professional Achievement Award. Tran received the award at the NAfME National Leadership Assembly and Collegiate Leadership Advocacy Summit in June.
"The Department of Music is proud of Sharon's accomplishments and her commitment to the field of music education," Dr. Marie Graham, 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 coordinator of music education, said. "This award is a testament to her dedication to NAfME and music education."
The award is presented to graduating seniors of a higher education institution pursuing a degree in music education or planning to pursue an advanced degree in music.
Tran, a Gainesville, Georgia, native, is currently pursuing a degree in music with a concentration in instrumental music education. Learning of her accomplishment, she shared that the outcome was a surprise and believed it was a mistake on NAfME's part.
"It’s such an honor to receive this type of award. When I got the email, I was confused because I had never gotten an award like it and I thought that NAfME may have sent an email to the wrong person," Tran said.
After graduating in spring 2024, Tran aspires to be an elementary music educator with hopes of working with local middle schools and high schools in the future.
