Congratulations to current student Isabella Falcone who was recently named as a semi-finalist in the 2025 International Songwriting Competition (ISC).

The ISC is an annual song contest whose mission is to provide the opportunity for both aspiring and established songwriters to have their songs heard in a professional, international arena. ISC is designed to nurture the musical talent of songwriters on all levels and promote excellence in the art of songwriting.
