Headed to the Broad Brook Opera House to see Elvis - (aka Bobby Scandura) in the “Bobby Sings Elvis” show. I’m Bobby’s vocal coach.
He is backed by The Suspicious Mindz band. They are excellent!!! Shout out to Bobby, one of my all-time favorite singers!

Re-established in 2018, the Broad Brook Opera House is now a venue for different events ranging from weddings and private events to live music shows.

For the first time since before the pandemic, I have hired a new teacher to work with me at MusicMakers! This teacher will be on Zoom only, as she is down in North Carolina. I cannot wait to mentor this up and coming music educator! So if you need a violin or viola teacher and love the Zoom platform, please let me know! She can teach people ANYWHERE, since it will be all online! Keely's students will still participate in all of our MusicMakers Academy events and recitals, and will have all the rights and goodies that our in-person students receive, including the student-only portal, virtual ensemble experiences, and more!
Send me a PM if you would like more information!
