Music Man

The Lowell Elementary Orchestra Concert was Tuesday night. Wyatt performed with the "super strings" section of the Orchestra. In addition, he asked his music teacher if he could perform a piano solo. The finale of the evening was Wyatt playing "El Zapateado" on the piano. He impressed adults, teachers, and students alike with his piano skills! An adoring fan/sister:
Wyatt's violin teacher: The program also had some interesting information regarding music education. Did you know that nine in ten people with a post-graduate education participated in music education while in school?
