Vivaldi Seasons – Yee-Haw! It’s Rodeo Time!
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo always bring out a little bit of the Texas spirit in all of us. Our Vivaldi Seasons students will have a blast this month – Cowboys have an exciting musical history! All those long days and nights driving cattle north to south provided them with ample creative time for songwriting, dancing and entertainment on the lone prairies. Our youngest musicians will embrace the Cowboy Culture this month and join in the Wild West fun!

Summer Recitals at University of St. Thomas!
The summer recitals will be held on June 15th, 16th, 22nd and 23rd at the University of St. Thomas (4001 Mt. Vernon, Houston,TX 77006). Please begin speaking with your teachers regarding participation in the recitals. Often those of us who are not musically inclined or never had music lessons as children may overlook the many 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?
Check out this blog we posted for our friends at Houston Mom’s Blog to find the answer to this question.
