End of Year Recital 2019
What a joyful way to close the year! Our 2019 End of Year Recital brought together students of all ages to share the music they’ve been working on throughout the year. From expressive solo performances to lively ensemble pieces, every student shone in their own way, filling the room with music, excitement, and joy.
Farewell
This recital also marked a very special farewell. After 14 years of weekly lessons, it was an emotional moment to send Ryan off as he graduates from the studio. From our very first lessons to his most recent performance, Ryan has been such a special part of the studio family. Even to this day, he still calls me “Ms. Chao,” and that little touch of continuity will always stay with me.
Ryan, your dedication, warmth, and musical spirit have made a lasting impact. You will be greatly missed, and I wish you every happiness and success as you step into this next chapter.
