Congratulations to 16-year-old Chaz Salazar on receiving From the Top’s $10,000 Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award. The Phoenix, Arizona flutist began studying music at his public school when he was 10 years old. He continues to study flute at Rosie’s House in Phoenix and participates in Arizona’s High School All-State Orchestra and the Phoenix Youth Symphony. He will use his Young Artist award money to attend a summer music festival in Canada and to travel for college auditions.

It’s worth $20,000 and I made it through the first rounds of competition. Also, if you create a Zinch profile (which really helped me in my college search process) and mention that I helped, I get more points AND your vote counts as 2 instead of one. http://www.zinch.com/Anonymous/StudentRegister.aspx?affid=324845
