STUDIO NEWS:


Really enjoyed the Summer session of Music Pups. My little son had a blast and is a little singer now- always shaking his head and moving his feet when he likes a song :) He also learned how to "tidy up" instruments after we finished playing with them. Great Frog collection- good songs, catchy tunes, fun words ( No, yes) and a fantastic set of parents and kids- We really had a great time together....Hope to see you in the fall !!!

Summer lessons have begun and I am very impressed with the kids dedication to practising over the holidays. Keep it up kids. You will find everything easier to achieve in the next level :)

Our surprise performers ( parents of SB3) were fantastic in their quartet.It was a great afternoon of solo piano music, ensembles, songs, rhythm ensembles - wonderful performances by everyone. I can't wait for next years recital.:)
