Leslie's School of Music

Although "Leslie's School of Music" has officially closed it's doors, we pray that the energy, creativity, music, and joy continues. 💛🎵

We are immensely thankful for the incredible experience, growth, friendships, and memories we made. Texas will always have a special place in our hearts! 🇨🇱

We encourage you to continue with McCown Conservatory!! 🎶 It carries the same vision and staff and is such a blessing to the community. Highly recommend! Let's continue growing the arts in Waxahachie!

Last weekend was AWESOME!! We successfully time traveled through music history, arriving at last "back to the future" in 2025. Our talented, brave, and inspiring musicians all did SO WELL! Bravo, everyone!! 👏

1.21 gigawatts?!!

What an INCREDIBLE start to our weekend of time traveling! We began in the 1600s (Baroque), then zipped to 1750/1800s (Classical/Romantic), and ended up in the early 1900s (Jazz/Blues/Ragtime). We haven't made it back to the future yet, but plan to continue our venture tomorrow!

We have lots of pictures to share soon! But for now, rest up and be ready to board the DeLorean again tomorrow! 🏎💨🔥⏳️🎶

Even more valuable than the music skills we developed, were the friendships we made. We learned how to support each other, encourage each other, celebrate each other, and the magic of playing music together. The friendships created in our group classes are so special!! ❤️

Great Scott!! It's almost time for our recitals! Climb aboard the DeLorean and blast away through music history with us! 🏎💨🔥🎶🎵

On this special day, we'd love to recognize two of our teachers who each recently had a baby boy!! 💙💙 We are so happy for Ms. Tetiana (Markiyan Henry was born 2/8) and for Ms. Caitlin (Theo Douglas was born 4/29)! Look at these CUTIES!!! 😍 Congratulations!!!

THIS is the beginning of Waxahachie's first community orchestra!! How beautiful it is to bring together stringed players with diverse skills and stories, and unify in song. We are passionate to continue growing and to promote orchestra music and performance in Waxahachie!

We are so thankful for our amazing conductor, Dr. Block, and the time, talent, and passion he pours into us.

Come see us perform at 11am on Saturday, May 17th, at FBC Waxahachie's beautiful Choir Room!

Meet MYKE!! Our star student this week! 🤩🎹 Myke began in a piano group class a few years ago and progressed so quickly that I had to always give him extra credit work to support his awesome progress. He now takes private piano lessons and still blows me away with his insane progress! Wait until you hear his Maple Leaf Rag (Scott Joplin) at the recital in two weeks. 🍁🎶🫨 WOW!! I find MYSELF doing homework so I can make sure I stay ahead of him 😅...and I love it! Myke, you are amazing, and I can't wait to watch where you go. It is such an honor and a privilege to be your first piano teacher!

We had the BEST staff meeting this morning! We discussed and prepared for our awesome, upcoming Spring recitals as well as big, exciting plans for our future!! 😆 It is absolutely amazing watching God work in so many ways through our growing music family. God is so good! 🎵🖤🎶

🍿POPCORN PARTY!🍿
Our piano group classes earned popcorn for memorizing their popcorn songs. EVERY SINGLE student successfully memorized their piece. Wow! So impressive! Well done, musicians!! ❤️💛
