We don't see the extra weight we may have put on, the frustration at our lack of control of our everyday lives, the disappointment of missing out on many exciting plans, or how much we miss our friends. It's safe to say there can be good and bad in any situation. While quarantine looks a little diffe

Thank you to everyone who came out today to support our musicians at the recitals! As you know, in lieu of tickets we asked for various contributions we could donate to our community.

This is an opportunity for us to recognize students for the outstanding work that they put in all year. Please

And to celebrate the dedication of parents and guardians as well. Making musicians requires a lot of support. Parents, students and teachers work together to reach milestones and we need to
