🎠Fall Recital Recap
Our fall recital was full of energy, creativity, and brave performances!
✨ Highlights included:
Oliver W.’s excellent guitar performance of Metallica — guitar truly shined! (I don’t have a photo of vid of this; maybe his parents will leave a comment with one.)
Mr. Sam’s closing performance of “Smooth Operator” by Sade, was a crowd favorite
Strong piano + voice performances as well, like Buck’s Raiders of the Lost Ark and Olivia’s Adele
We’re always so proud of ALL of our students for sharing their hard work and love of music. We will do a true student spotlight in each month’s newsletter - any volunteers? We want to get to know you!
