Piano Pal Update!
This may be about the 10th year our studio has done Piano Pal, the annual composition project, where students compose a piece for a “secret pal”. Every year, students fine-tune their compositional skills and work out imaginative ways to paint a musical portrait of their friend. Twenty students took part in this project this year. Each student took home a booklet of everyone’s pieces, so please feel free to ask them to show you, and enjoy!

Jack: “Shades of Purple” for Katherine
Landon: “Falling Snow on Black Piano” for Jack
