Spring Forward

Spring is here! Louder bird singing and brighter sun greet us every morning on our way to school. Luckily, last snow storm missed us. This week, students are enjoying a spring break before returning to a very busy last quarter of this school year. 

Luke enjoys music theory!

Theory Mastery Day was another success in our studio. All students took part in a VA State Music Theory Exam. 

Top scores go to: Cameron, Luke, Jacqui and Lucy

 We held two monthly recitals at "Woodlands" retirement place. It was a special treat to hear Sophia, Jacqui and their mom; they performed as a trio, thank you! 

  

 Nicole was invited to participate in Young Artist Musical at GMU. She performed 1st movement of a Sonata in D major Hob.XVI:24 by J. Haydn. All participating young musicians are invited to meet with Jeffrey Siegel afterwards.
