Ensemble Recital

The studio had a recital November 4th, 2015 full of duets and trios and it was AWESOME! One of my favorite things about this recital is each year my sister and I prepare a duet for the students to enjoy. We used to play duets together when we were young and so it brings back great memories.

Here are some glimpses into that evening:

Xana Thorson

Xana Thorson is one of my newer students. She is a joy to teach!

From her mom: Xana loves to ride her bike, play with friends, soccer, and, of course, piano. She is working hard to be able to get a challenge song. She is a very helpful sister and plays well with her brothers. Often times we find her cleaning the entire house without anyone asking her too. 
She has recently found a new love, reading.
