At the Reading Tree Lighting Festival

Our music students performed at Grumpy Doyle's pub and Reading Cooperative Bank as part of Reading's Tree Lighting Ceremony festivities! Our mission was to entertain folks!
 
Tim Sanford, student of Jenna Potts, performed classical violin pieces at Grumpy Doyle's. I think, for the majority of attendees, it was the first time they heard a solo student violin performance.
Amy Imrich performed fantastic fiddle pieces throughout the afternoon. That's a lot of fiddlin'!

At Reading Cooperative Bank, our piano students performed for families waiting in line to see Santa.
Lily Johnson performs a selection of pieces including an original composition. She takes piano lessons with Roald Wilson.

We also offered face painting...thanks to a generous donation by Artists & Craftsmen Supply (Saugus).
Taylor, also a piano and vocal student, carefully paints a Santa hat on a very patient boy.
He's concentrating hard on staying still!
Ta-da! Santa hat!
And Christmas trees...
Getting a pair of candy canes. For the record, the brushes kinda tickle and he was trying hard not to move!

We all had a great time! Thanks to our performing students, their families and our wonderful volunteers.
You made this a wonderful experience!
