Holiday Recital

MTEC's dedicated teachers hosted Holiday Recitals for their respective studios at MTEC this past December.  These smaller recitals were a great way to share music, get to know each other, practice performing in a less formal setting and have fun!      

Here are pictures and a video from a few of the recitals:

Congratulations to all of the students that participated in the MTEC's Holiday Studio Recitals!

Keep up the good work!
