In an article by The Shepherdstown Chronicle, Shepherd University piano performance major Jacob Livengood, a 20-year-old from Charles Town, recently won the WVMTA Mountain State Competition held at Shepherd University on Oct. 12. Under the guidance of his piano teacher, Yu-Hsuan Liao, Livengood prepared an extensive repertoire including works by Haydn, Rachmaninoff, and Bartok. The victory not only enhances his resume as he prepares to apply for a graduate program, but also represents significant artistic growth, having performed solo for a half hour—a new experience for him. His ongoing dedication includes frequent lessons as he gears up for his junior recital next semester.
