Everyone is welcome to attend the concert which will be held at PenncrestHigh School on Saturday, February 12th.
  1. PRIVATE LESSONS: Don’t forget that now is a great time to think about starting private lessons on your instrument. Private lessons absolutely make the difference when it comes to enhancing your musical skill level, qualifying for solos and other opportunities, etc. There are many good teachers in our area to take advantage of. Attached here is a current list of private lesson teachers in our area. Feel free to contact any of them to talk about available options.
