Fall Festival and Judged Recitals

Seasons Greetings! I hope everyone is enjoying winter break this week. In our house, a festively decorated Christmas tree is bringing a lot of cheer in addition to creatively wrapped gifts waiting to be open. It has become a tradition in our studio to have a Group Class in December. Students could accomplish some theory work, perform solo pieces, play fun board games and enjoy sweets. It was great to see you all together!

Time to give an update about the latest events we have attended during past two months.

VMTA Fall Festival was held the first week of November.
