As Solo & Ensemble competitions gear up, we have our first Grade 1/Level 1 winner! Congratulations to Nikita, who received the top mark of a Grade 1 on a Level 1 piece  (the highest HS level) for her Solo & Ensemble performance by memory on February 6th! Nikita will advance to the Texas State Solo-Ensemble Contest in Austin this May. Watch this page for more good news as student auditions from FBISD begin on February 19th and 20th!

By popular demand, LHS announces a group workshop day on Saturday, February 27th, with classes beginning at 1pm. This round’s topics will include advanced bow techniques (Ready, Set, Spiccato!), Spring Into Scales (2- and 3-octave), Vroom Vroom Vibrato, and peg tuning. For those new to violin, we’ll be hosting a Pepperoni Pizza party! Contact Ms. Haley directly to RSVP as these small group classes fill quickly.

Ms. Haley is excited to direct students and parents to the Eastman School of Music website, where families can read about the success of the Eastman alumni and faculty who won Grammy awards this week!
