Suzuki Piano Academy

Congratulations, Hannah, on your senior recital! Beyond a large repertoire of some of the great masters of piano literature, she also performed a Filipino folk song as a nod to her culture, and ended the concert with How Great Thou Art as a testiment to her faith, making it a very meaningful event. Brava!! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors! 👏👏👏

Congratulations, Madison, on your senior recital. May 30, 2026. A standout highlight was when she surprised her parents with a rendition of their 'first dance' song La Vie En Rose (Life in the Pink) by Louis Armstrong. Besides lovely piano repertoire, she also played a couple of pieces on her saxaphone which she will be playing next year in the Missouri State University Pride Band. Wishing you all the best, Madison! Brava!! 👏👏👏

Congratulations to Josalyn for completing the Major Scale Medal award! She's learned all of the major scales, their cadences, and key signatures. Brava!👏👏👏

Everyone is invited to our senior's recitals. Both will be held on May 30th in Clara Thompson Hall at Drury University. Hannah's is at 1:00 and Madison's is at 4:30 (perfect amount of time to get ice cream in-between)! Come out to show your support for these young women as they celebrate their many years of piano study with wonderful programs of music.

Spring recital in the books! A wonderful evening of music presented by many of the studio students last Saturday. Here are a couple pictures shared with me by parents. So blessed to be their teacher 💛
