On December 3rd, Lupton Street Studios had their annual Play It Forward Showcase, where all our students across all disciplines perform for friends and family. The money raised from this evening is used to help students and families that are in need of some financial support.
A Great Experience For All Our Students
What an awesome night it was! We had little ones who are barely starting to learn, all proud to play that one piece they perfected for the recital. It’s always so special to see them experience the rush of performing in front of a public at such a young age. They all did so great!
It’s So Much Fun, Even The Ones Who Graduated Keep Coming Back
We also had the always pleasant visit of one of the studio’s alumni, Jim Lougheed. Jim comes back every year to perform with us and usually finds some time in his busy schedule to put together a piano duet with Debi. It’s always a highlight of the evening. It gives our current students an example of where they can be in a few years with a little bit of perseverance! It’s a great role model for them!
Our teachers also usually give varied performances, at the piano, singing a song, etc. This year we got the special treat of Heather playing the flute for us! Bithiah played a beautiful piece on the piano. Deb and Mel were their usual silly selves and performed a little piece of musical comedy, which got even more silly because of some technical difficulties. But yet again, that is a good thing for our students to see and learn: even when little things go wrong, you just go along and the show must go on!
