Not long ago, our student Lily switched from piano lessons to voice lessons with the goal of getting cast in a school musical. With the help of our wonderful CIML teacher Shala, Lily practiced and sharpened her singing skills. Just last week, Lily fulfilled her goal as she has been chosen for The Baker’s Wife in Northwest High School’s production of Into The Woods! The musical will run the weekend of April 24th & 25th.
