2022 Winter Recitals
On December 1st-3rd we welcomed in the holiday season with Winter Recitals at Esperanza Church in Ahwatukee.  It was a privilege to hear so many fantastic performances.    
We will continue hosting recitals December 8th-10th.  
 These are open to all friends and family of students at MMW. 
Why are recitals important?  
 They provide a tangible goal to work towards.   
Recitals build confidence and provide a sense of achievement.
These performances provide a chance for extended family to celebrate the musical journey.    
 Recitals build connections between teachers, students, and parents.
They are inspirational.
It's rewarding to be part of a real “live music experience”.  
Ultimately they Create Moments that Matter
 
Each recital is open for all students, families and friends to attend free of cost. If your child is not participating in the recitals this season, feel free to attend a performance to see what it's all about!
