Spring Report Card

Bright yellow daffodils are cheering up a studio driveway, and deer already have helped themselves to my beautiful Dutch tulips that didn’t last even a few days. Spring is here! Even though temperatures are still hanging on to 40-50’s, I see students optimistically wearing summer t-shirts, and several even managed to get some nice tan while playing outdoor games. It is time for a summary of the latest events.


SMC Recitals:

Lucy- Honors,November
Sarah- Honors, January
Jonathan-Honors, January
Gaby- Honors, January
Maggie- Honors,January
Faith- Honors, February


Before spring forward, we had a busy winter time. The first week of February was dedicated to Theory Exam, the last week-to Bach Baroque festival. You had a chance to read about Baroque Festival, so here are our top three Theory scores:

Gabrielle- 98%, level III
Sarah- 96%, level IV
Eileen- 95%, level VII

In the middle…..Springfield Music Club Student Recitals, NVMTA and WMTA Judged Recitals, Young Artist Musicale and a memorable trip to New York for two families in our studio.



Faith deserves a double cheer and should be named a “star student” this season. She received Honors from the NVMTA Judged Recital. In March, Faith was also featured on the Young Artist Musicale at the GMU. Faith has even more good news to tell us: American Fine Arts Festival chose Faith to be one of the performers at the Winter Gala at the prestigious Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall!
