多年来，柯秀亭老师的学生在MTNA举办的地方、地区和国家钢琴比赛中表现出色，多次获得州和国家一等奖。因此，她的学生被邀请参与Winston Salem交响乐团、the Tar River交响乐团、the Chapel Hill交响乐团和the Fayetteville交响乐团进行个人表演。

        Through the years, Florence's students have done extremely well in local, regional and national piano competitions hosted by the MTNA, winning state and national first prizes on multiple occasions. As a result, her students have been invited for solo performances with the Winston Salem Symphony, the Tar River Orchestra, the Chapel Hill Orchestra, and the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra.
