SUMMER RECITALS AT UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS
Saturday, June 6th, Sunday, June 7th , Saturday, June 20th, Sunday, June 21st, Sunday, June 28th
Please begin speaking with your teachers regarding participation in the recitals. It is easy to overlook the benefits of performing when we are so focused on the lesson-by-lesson, week-to-week gamut of our children’s music education. So let’s also take a look at the big picture – how does preparing one’s child for performing benefit him or her? Performance opportunities can provide a student with confidence, give a them a goal to work towards, and allow them a platform to be themselves and have fun!
Countdown to San Francisco!
Many of our students will have the incredible opportunity to perform in San Francisco this summer at the historic Herbst Theatre, located in the San Francisco War Memorial Performing Arts Center. We are looking forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
Mark your calendar for
