A Note from the Directors: 
As we enter the month of March, we are thrilled to announce a plethora of exciting events and opportunities for our musical community.

We are thrilled to host the Spring Patio Showcase at Tukees, to provide students with valuable stage experience and the chance to showcase their hard work. Finally, we are gearing up to host the 5th Annual Piano Competition in April! Be sure to connect with your piano instructors if you would like to participate. Let's make the most of this month, embracing the power of music to inspire, connect, and uplift us all!
