HAPPY CELEBRATIONS - MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Dec. 14, 2017- last post for 2017!

  CONGRATULATIONS to all Students and their Parents!

You have made excellent progress since September- Students supported by Parents who work hard to encourage, cajole, to keep playing every day - this is why Parents are the most important part of the MATT program- along with their children!

I am sure you have seen that MATT is a very unique way 

to learn and enjoy the many blessings of music.

As we continue this dedication into 2018, we naturally continue to grow our skills and understanding of music, 

right through until our MAY 29th  concert! 

Wait till you see what you can do then!
