A Look At Our Online Fall Recital 

We had a wonderful afternoon of music at our online fall recital on September 29! Due to the high number of performers, the students performed in three separate online sessions. Thirty-one students participated and showcased their skills on piano, violin, and voice. After each performance, everyone celebrated each other’s progress with claps, cheers, and emojis on their Zoom screens. Congratulations to all of the performers and for those who couldn’t make it, we hope to see you at our in-person winter recital!

October Event: “Pump-kin” Up The Practice

We are excited to announce our October event - “Pump-kin” Up The Practice! This practice event includes 3 weeks of spooky challenges both inside and outside the lesson. We have musical games, activities, and practice challenges for each level of students! We will be sharing all the information for this event in lessons the week of October 7. 

Winter Recital: Find Your Duet Partner

Our winter recital is fast approaching, and we want to give everyone time to prepare for the event on December 22. Besides playing a solo, we are inviting our students to collaborate during this event to play duets with each other! You can play with a friend, sibling, or new acquaintance that you met at one of our recitals. Please let your teacher know once you’ve selected a duet partner and Dr. Mary and Marisa will help select a duet that is appropriate for both students’ level.
