Big thanks to all of you for the job well done this year! Snow days have made summer break much shorter, so please make the most of it.

Moving Forward

We are sending our warmest congratulations to several middle school students in our studio.

 Angus Chang, 7^th grade student,  received the highest “Music Honor Award” at Rocky Run Middle School. He has always successfully managed two instruments, piano and cello. Angus has been invited to play in Chamber Orchestra next year.

 Eli, 6^th grader, and Maggie, 8^th grader, spent past weekend in New York City. Both students were winners of AFAF competition, and were invited to perform at the Gala Concert at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.
