Piano Fun at Field Elementary
Posted on Feb 15, 2012 in Academic & Health Benefits, Fun at HPC!, Image Gallery, News & Events, Piano Blog | 0 comments
Pictures are worth a thousand words. In this case, however, a picture is worth many sparks of interest in elementary school students. The Houston Piano Company School of Music recently held an event at Field Elementary where one of our instructors, Nick Evangelista, held mini-lessons for the eager students.
The event kicked off with an entertaining performance from the school’s very own Jazz Club. Following the concert, Nick announced that we would be giving free mini-lessons at the front of the auditorium for any students who were interested. Almost immediately, Nick was swamped with kids (and even a parent) who wanted to play the piano.
Check out some other photos:
The Houston Piano Company School of Music is growing, and we are excited to share the gift of music. At Field Elementary, we were able to sign up many students for a special promotion of two free piano lessons. The staff was very welcoming, and we were very happy to spread the word about Houston Piano Company. A special thanks to all of the Field Elementary staff, students, and parents for allowing us to host the event at your wonderful school. We look forward to keeping in touch!
