It’s recital time again!
All students are busy
practicing their pieces to
perform at out next recit-
al on June 10. Popular
songs, movie themes, clas-
sical repertoire and duets
will be included in the
program.
Support your student by
inviting friends and rela-
tives to be a part of this
end of year event. There
are plenty of seats, so
invite as many people as
you like!
All students are required
to participate in the recit-
al. Sign up for a recital
group time that will help
avoid schedule conflicts
on the day.
We start on time so be
sure to select a group that
will allow you to arrive 10
minutes early and stay for
the entire recital.
Presentation of certifi-
cates and a short recep-
tion follows each recital
group. Please bring a plate
of goodies to share.
Thank you!!
