Thank you for attending today's recitals!

Learning a musical instrument is a great accomplishment. Thank you for

bringing your children to lessons each week and your commitment to their

musical education. Your encouragement and support make a huge difference in

your child's advancement in musical literacy and musicianship.

These budding musicians are learning piano and discovering the fun of playing

the piano. Purposeful study and discipline lead each student, as you will hear

today, to successful performance.

Enjoy the music! Cherish the moment your youngster performs! They're on

stage and announcing to the world, “I play the piano!” What could be better?

And lastly, thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach your child piano! It

is a joy to coach them in this musical craft! My goal is to foster in each student a

life-long love of learning and playing the piano!

Musically yours,

Bill Becker
