Three AAPS students recently had their musical compositions featured at the prestigious 2026 Young Composers of Michigan Premier Concert in Grand Rapids—a remarkable achievement made possible by an innovative music program that puts creativity in students’ hands.

Amyra Singla, Kai Zammit, and Lucas DelProposto, now sixth graders at Tappan Middle School, were recognized for compositions they created while at Pattengill Elementary. Though winter weather prevented two of the three students from attending the concert in person—along with many other young composers—their work was still celebrated through video performances of their pieces. All three received plaques honoring their accomplishment.
