Nice use of B/W to capture a street musician. Seeing his face a little more would have added to it. It meets the music part of the challenge, but I am not so sure about the School part. 6

I like the lighting and the composition of the image, but for me the focus is just a little too soft.

Funny image. The is some strange lighting effects going on in the background - likely due to reflections from the instruments, but it has a lot going for it - back for a bump to 7

Neat idea for a shot. The blue background has a little too much noise for my liking, but the concept is pretty cool. 6

I like the use of shallow DOF on this image. The illumination on the eyes of the student in focus is outstanding.

Nice image of students in a marching band. The background is a little cluttered with stuff going on - I like the mountain and other band members, but the students/ audience takes away. A slightly different angle would have probably really helped this. In addition, better lighting on his face (fill flash or other) would bring out his awesome expression of concentration.

Very nice image of actual students practicing. The perspective is nice, where we can see the faces of all the students in the string group. The only thing I don't like it the boy from the other student off camera. This blocks our view of the second cellist. There are some minor blown out areas on the music but it is not much to complain about. Overall, a good image. 6

Pretty pose. I think using flute music instead of piano music as the background woudl have helped a little more. But, that said, it is a solid image.
