Brother and sister Shin and Sun Chang of Auburn combined to recently win the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) Senior Piano Duet Competition in Milwaukee.

Shin, 18, and Sun, 16, were born in Seoul, South Korea, to a family of professional musicians. The siblings have won many local, national and international awards, individually and now as a duo.

Shin won Washington state’s Outstanding Artist Competition in 2007. Sun was the focus of a television documentary, “Musical Encounters.” The siblings attend Thomas Jefferson High School.

For winning the national competition, the duo received $2,000, provided by Dallas Weekley and Nancy Arganbright.

The three-tiered MTNA competitions begin at the state level. First-place winners of each state’s competition advance to a division competition. Division winners compete in the national finals.
