I completely forgot to share with you - a couple of weeks ago an unprecedented event happened - I won the Grand Prix of a vocal competition 🥳😱🔥

Recently I decided to participate in 10 vocal competitions at once to show my students the subjectivity of jury evaluations in such contests🎤

According to my hypothesis, I should have received diplomas with a range of results from Participant Diploma (given to everyone) to Laureate of the 1st degree (best in my age category).
Imagine my surprise when one after another only certificates for 1st place arrived. But last week something completely unexpected happened - I was sent a Grand Prix Diploma🤩 This means my performance was rated as the strongest across all categories and all age groups of participants. I hadn't won this prize even when I practiced vocals a lot and actively traveled all over Russia participating in competitions.

It seems like I should be upset - the experiment failed, but still, it's so nice to receive positive feedback about your work 🔥
