- Our Studio End of Year Recital on June 13 was a huge success! We had a full house- I am so happy all of you were able to come participate and that each student had family and friends there to support them. We celebrated the many accomplishments of our students this year with performances, presentation of certificates, and snacks/socializing afterward.
- Spring Performance Party- Students enjoyed music games, treats, and performances! This was a great opportunity to gain valuable performance experience and learn to support one another with proper recital etiquette and encouraging/helpful comments. - WSMTA adjudications went very well this year! Congratulations to Aarti, Bryn, Emily M, and Raj! You all worked hard and played beautifully. On Feb 28, each student performed two contrasting pieces from memory for Dr. William Nyaho at Lighthammer Pianos in Mukilteo. Raj also represented the studio in the Edmonds Honor Recital on March 7. - Our Christmas Recital on December 20th brought holiday cheer to the residents of Brookdale Senior Living. The room was completely full during the recital and so many afterward let me know how very much they appreciated us coming and that they enjoyed the recital so much! Thank you to all of the students and families who were able to be there! -The Halloween Performance Parties on Oct 24 and Oct 25 were lots of fun! We played rhythm pictionary, hangman on the staff, statues, monster hide-and-seek, and my favorite: musical charades on the piano. There were yummy treats and some spooky performances! We also voted on the charity that the studio will be raising money toward in this year's practice challenge. -This year's practice challenge raised $110 for Neonatal Resuscitation Training. For more information on this much needed approach to saving newborn babies: Helping Babies Breathe Students participated by logging practice days and voting for the charity that would receive the practice challenge donation. For each day a student practiced, the studio donated a dime to the charity chosen by the students. Together the whole studio was able to log over 1000 practice days! -We had 4 students who participated in the Classical Time Era Festival on November 1 at Lighthammer Pianos. You all worked so hard and did a wonderful job playing in the classical style, from memory, and working with the judge afterward. What a great performance experience and hopefully you learned a lot about the classical time period! CONGRATULATIONS! Luke Green, Rachel Green, Sam Green, Bryn Hawksworth
