Dear Participants,
Thank you so much for taking part in SPERA 2025.
Our long, demanding, and yet incredibly exciting day has come to an end.
Some of you may be leaving with happy hearts, while others may feel disappointed with the results.
Still, if you are thinking, “I want to come back again next year,” that's the best reward we could ask for.
We deeply value not only the students who participate but also the teachers who support them.
This is why we invite the teachers to come up on stage during the award ceremony and present the Best Teacher Award before any other awards.
Teachers love their students.
We know that many of you spend your own time, beyond the studio, preparing in many ways for regular lessons and this competition.
And on the day of the competition, you probably experience even greater emotional ups and downs than your students, as you pray for their success.
As a teacher myself, I understand these feelings deeply.
I truly hope SPERA can be a place that strengthens the bond between teachers and their students.
SPERA is run solely by my husband and me.
Compared to larger competitions, there may be things we still lack.
However, our goal is to support the growth of each individual participant, to build strong relationships with the teachers, and to celebrate the children’s development together—once a year, with all of you.
SPERA2026 wii be held on Sunday of 26th April 2026 in Frankfurt am Main.
We look forward to seeing you again next year.
Best Regards
Mika OGINO
