Have you considered participating in one of our recitals? If you already take lessons with Courtnay and Rowe, participating in our performance opportunities are a great way to enhance your experience! Plus, there are so many benefits that come from participating in musical performances. Many of these show up in the development of good character virtues, and don’t we all want that for ourselves and our children?
Courtnay and Rowe’s Spring Recitals are next on May 5th, 6th, and 7th, and you still have plenty of time to plan something wonderful to share with family, teachers and friends! Our Christmas Holiday Recitals this year are on December 1st, 2nd and 3rd. If you would like an extra special and unique performance opportunity, consider joining our Destination Performance trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April!
