In the spirit of joy and to celebrate our children who have continued their music study in these challenging times, let’s come together for a virtual “music cafe” on Weds May 27 at 4pm, during which students, parents, and families can perform for one another. (We will, of course, adjust for an in-person event if that is possible!) Part talent show, part recital, and 100% celebration of creativity and music! Families could perform together, students can perform what they are studying in lessons, and we have a few amazingly accomplished recorder players already! Please let Ms. Lefferts know if your family would be interested in participating. More details to follow.
