take on the restrictive freedom of musical expression.

The results? Broader minds, culture, and lots of arguments.

 

At April's recent recital, she arrived fetchingly attired in a tea-length
royal purple velveteen dress, matching scarf, and designer cast,
lovingly signed by friends and family.

NOTE: the cast did not impede
her dramatic performance of Bourrée in any way.

Zach just performed in his second recital at a church
(in Falls Church, Virginia).
Here, he warms up just before the concert.

 

 

The rare photograph below documents
Zach during an actual performance!

 

 

Zach was the final musician at the recital and
played four pieces (flawlessly, of course!).

 

Zach studies guitar at the Columbia Institute of Fine Arts
under Scott Swertfeger .

Mom and Dad have high hopes for successful
musical futures for these burgeoning prodigies.
We also have hopes that they'll eventually learn

We'll keep hoping, and you keep coming back!
Thanks for visiting.
