Sounds of the Season

I need to do a comprehensive Christmas post, but that involves uploading videos and resizing pictures and writing witty and creative content – none of which I am willing to do right now. So, in the meantime, I present to you my two most favorite piano students performing their Christmas songs.  Enjoy! Note: The camera… Continue reading Sounds of the Season
