Free Monthly Group Class
Join us on Sunday, June 28th from 2:00–3:00 PM for our free monthly group class. This month’s class, Foundations of Music, will be led by one of our piano and vocal instructors, Lendys.
The class will focus on fundamental music concepts that can help students better understand the music they play and build a stronger musical foundation. We are also excited to welcome Lendys back to Memorial Music after her maternity leave.
As always, this group class is free for all current Memorial Music students. We hope you’ll join us!
