Piano Concert

*Each student is asked to attend at least one piano concert a year. This would fulfill that requirement.

Federation Festival
Saturday, February 9th
Northwest Florida State College, Niceville
Times: TBA
Registration is closed

Federation Festival Rehearsal
In lieu of a nursing home trip on February 2nd, I will have a practice performance for those who are playing at Federation Festival. It is optional, but highly recommended. I will have an 11:15-12:15 group session and a 12:30-1:30 group session. A sign-up will be on my board. If possible, I do ask that students stay for the whole hour, as this is a great time for pier motivation.

Upcoming Dates

April 13 - Student Day (PSC)
May 17 - Awards Recital

Stuart Willingham

 

December Student of the Month 

Stuart Willingham

Stuart is an 8th grader and a fan of the Boston Celtics. He enjoys Dr. Pepper and Mac n Cheese. His favorite book is the Tim Tebow biography and his favorite color is green. Stuart was an easy choice for Student of the month after a superb performance at the Christmas party. His expressive playing gave a mature quality to his performance of "O Come, O Come Emmanual". Congratulations and keep up the good work.
