She is always looking to improve and tries any suggestion given in class or in lessons with full enthusiasm.вЂќ вЂњShe will do anything and everything to support other singers in the chorus and is more eager to shine the spotlight on her peers than to have it on herself.

вЂ‹ вЂњAs her chorus teacher, I feel incredibly privileged to have Brenna as a student because she is such a humble leader in the Rocky Point Chorus Room,вЂќ Ms. When asked how rehearsals were going, Brenna expressed how incredibly inspiring it was to sing with that many voices. вЂ‹ After arriving at the NYSSMA conference, Brenna had three full days of rehearsal, singing as much as eight hours in a day during rehearsals with a college-level conductor and 160 other singers from all over the state. Brenna worked on her own at home as well as with her chorus teacher, Jessica Spitz, during her chorus lessons, at extra help and after school to master the challenging music, which included several different styles of music 4-part, 6-part and 8-part harmony and four different languages. The All-State Mixed Chorus was announced in the fall, and Brenna received the music to start preparing in November. She received a perfect score as well as glowing comments from the adjudicator.

вЂ‹ Brenna auditioned for the All-State Mixed Chorus last spring by submitting a video recording of her singing the Italian aria вЂњChe faro senza EuridiceвЂќ at the NYSSMA Solo Festival. She participated in a concert held at the acclaimed Eastman Theatre in Rochester, New York, during the annual Winter Conference of the New York State School Music Association on Dec. вЂ‹ Rocky Point High School student Brenna Kiernan was selected to the New York State School Music Association All-State Mixed Chorus.
