It’s so hard to believe it’s almost back-to-school time! I’m fondly looking backing on a wonderful 2025 summer, which was kicked off in June with my students’ lovely recitals. It’s always amazing to see how much they progress and mature over the years. I said goodbye to one senior, Toni, whom I will miss so much. (But I’m so excited for her to attend an Ivy League university in the fall!) The recitals included performances of a Mozart Sonata for Violin & Piano, Bach’s E major Preludio, as well as tunes by Adele and ABBA. A wonderful variety of music!
