Fall 2022 Recital
Congrats to all of our student performers and instructors for performing at our recent Fall Recital in Sycamore! After 16 weeks of lessons, it was great to hear everyone performing so well on their solos, duets, and cover songs. Everything from Chopin to Joan Jett! What a great recital! Enjoy some pictures that my wonderful wife, Laura, took. She also provided great logistics support that night…
