Performing for Guest Ghoul Judge
Spooktacular!
(Concertos 'n Costumes, 2009)

Check-out these photos and this video of our famous fun studio event of the year.  What a great way to test the waters for performance skills!  If you can perform for a ghoul, skeleton, alien and ghost -- AND keep a straight face -- then, you can perform for ANYONE!!

Spooktacular traditions:  Wacky costumes, creepy cuisine, ghoulish games, and a chance to exhibit original student compositions and other published  piano pieces.
