Chatsworth 4th Graders Finalists For Musical Art
by Judy Silberstein
(May 26, 2003) For the third year in a row, Chatsworth
Avenue fourth graders Alice and Daphne Taranto have won prizes
in the musical art competition sponsored by Music K-8, the
magazine for teachers of music. “I am very proud of
these girls,” said their music teacher, Judy O’Savio. “They
have a tremendous talent – both music and art.”
Alice plays flute and Daphne plays alto saxophone and harp.
The two are members of the Chatsworth band, led by Peter
Kanyuk.
“Music K-8” is a “think tank” for
teachers, explained O’Savio. The magazine holds regular
contests and encourages students to submit artwork for possible
publication inside or on the cover.

After two years of winning honorable mentions, Alice and
Daphne this year became two of only 19 finalists out of over
19,000 entries submitted. Alice won in the “Most Humorous” category
and Daphne was a finalist in the general category.
Now that they’ve reached the finalist level, are they
ready to retire? Not yet. They’re planning to enter
the musical art contest once again next year.
