Last month a gentlemen named Nikolas Sideris shared that he was going give away free songs for the month of December on a Piano Facebook page. After doing some brief research, I was impressed by what I saw on his website and the music he created. So I went ahead and shared my email.

The first one is called Christmas on the Square starring Dolly Parton as an Angel trying to save a small town from a rich realtor who wa

I feel like Santa, as I'm checking over the programs to make sure every name and song is correct, sending it off to my friend who helps make the programs look so successful, working with the students for the last week of lessons for the year. Ever student is doing well and I couldn't more proud of each of them as they prepare for an end of the year event. This year we're doing two separate events

So next Saturday December 12th our studio is preparing for a Nutty Christmas Event, where students will share music and acting from the Nutcracker. Our students have been diligently working hard each week to make progress and demonstrate with proficiency the music and scripts. The event was to be at a local church, yet due to covid 19 being so bad in our area I decided to completely do everything online. I've been talking to friends all day on how to make the event successful

Just wanted to take a few minutes to share about a Christmas movie that our family has watched on Netflix. Those who have taken the time to create the film have really taken Christmas to new levels.
