Whiz Kid's Accomplishment: Winning 1st place, 2nd place twice, and 3rd place at her most recent competition, Jade Keogh continues to bring home trophies for her tin whistle, Irish flute, and fiddle playing. 

Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: Jade dedicates almost all of her free time to music. Practicing at least an hour a day and taking classes 3-4 times a week, Jade loves to compete and play music for her friends and family. When she's not playing, she's watching TV, playing on her phone, and playing on the computer with her 3rd grader little sister, Isabella. She plans to continue playing flute when she enters Pearl River High School. Jade recently played a selection from Beauty and the Beast with her friend at the PRMS talent show. She has a dog named Bacon, which she named because he "looks like a piece of bacon."
