WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. (WKBW) — After months of preparation, four students from the Royal Music Academy in Williamsville performed at the Star Prize Festival.

It's a prestigious musical event for young pianists at the Royal Albert Hall in the U.K.

"Playing different songs of different levels of difficulty," Royal Music Academy pianist Ema Namsel said. "Proud of myself and happy that I was able to be there and able to be playing at Royal Albert Hall."

"I learn a lot of stuff. It benefits me mentally in a way. I see real-life physical results," Royal Music Academy pianist Aurnas Selvadurai said. "Obviously, and I learn so much from learning about dedication and putting in time."

The students performed on a piano that once belonged to Sir Elton John.
