Ending the Year with a Bang!

May 2021

This past year (2020-2021) at Lily Music Studio was full of celebration! We not only celebrated student accomplishments but also celebrated the studio's 15th birthday!

At the end of the school year, it was such fun to be able to gather safely at a local park here in Jacksonville, FL to celebrate together!

Students and parents received their end-of-year gift which includes a personalized video celebrating their past year of piano or flute lessons. 12th grade students received a special graduation gift.

Another highlight of our time together was getting to present Federation Festival and Sonatina Festival awards to the students. We love to celebrate our achievements!

Here's to a fabulous year behind and an exciting future ahead!

Hard Work = Big Achievements

Spring 2021

Since January, students have participated in two group classes, a recital, a music festival, and lots and lots of piano and flute playing. These things are worth celebrating! Our students are amazing - just look below for a few examples.

Playing in the Winter Recital

Students performed beautifully in their online 'Celebration!' recital released on February 20 via YouTube. I'm so proud of them for preparing and executing such a great program!

Achieving Goals

Remember to take time to celebrate ALL the moments; big or small. Have a happy spring!

We've been having fun this Fall!

Autumn 2020

This year is off to a great start and I'm excited to share some highlights from our Fall Semester with you!

Sonatina Recital

On October 10th, summer students performed the sonatinas they learned and put on a lovely program! Not only did students perform for the distanced studio audience, but a large live-stream audience as well! Way to go, students!

Parent Participation Week

We had another fun week with parents joining us for lessons! I thoroughly enjoy this studio tradition and hope all the parents do, too. The students gain confidence as they perform for and teach music concepts to their parent. It's so fun to watch!

FSMTA Composer Recital

I'm so proud of this gal for participating in the Florida State Music Teachers Association's Composer Recital that was part of the State Convention. Students submitted a video of themselves playing a piece by Wendy Stevens and only a few were chosen to be displayed on the state website's online recital page!
