Know that saying, “Work hard, play hard?!” Well these students worked so hard to learn music - some Halloween but other genres too. We learn about respecting others performance, music, etc. I just love when my students speak up and compliment each other. And of course we have fun! Recitals are currently by Zoom, but lessons and classes are remote, Studio, and at the Shelton Community Center. Hybrid and pivoting is easy. Join the fun. Get some piano on! 🎹
