Tacy Foundation Recital 

Sophia and Nicole, NVMTA General Recital

Happy New Year! Students are busy preparing for theory exam and many other upcoming events. Spring season promises to be very busy for all. I am so proud of many students who find time on weekends to organize Tacy Foundation Recitals. It takes time and a lot of effort to recruit participants and make balanced programs. Most everyone has performed once or more during holiday season to bring cheer and beautiful music to retirement community in our area. Thank you!

Several events took place during past months. Good work to everyone who participate in the VMTA Fall Festival:
