The Edmonds chapter is known for having a number of composition teachers and placing well in the Young Composer Project. This year this happened again even though the competition was more competitive. Congratulations to EMTA teachers and students who placed in the YCP. Way to go Edmonds chapter! Also, a huge thanks to Rick Asher for being a YCP judge for the last 5 years.
