Events and Recitals
Annual Spring Recital—June 1, 2008 2:30 PM
Christ Clarion Church, 415 Thornell Road, Pittsford
The annual spring recital is a wonderful time for students and audience. Students play the best of their memorized repertoire. If you are not yet a student of the studio, but considering it, this is a great opportunity to see what the students have accomplished at various levels.
Generally, this event is held the first Sunday in June. The actual date/location will be posted here at least 1 month before the recital.

End of Summer Recital/Celebration
This event, casual and fun, is for the students who continue piano study throughout the summer. They can play music from any source. (e.g. movie themes, popular songs, blues, jazz, hymns, duets and even other instruments) That's not a typo… one year a multi-talented student recorded a piece on the the electronic piano and played it back as an accompaniment while playing the melody on her flute. We've had mom/daughter duets, sister/brother combos and even a trio played at this celebration.
This event does not take place every year as summer class size and vacation schedules vary from year to year.
