Covid-19 and Favorite recordings of works

We hope you and your loved ones are safe and doing well.

This is a very difficult moment for you and your loved ones due to the current outbreak of Covid-19 that continues to develop.  Many events and activities are canceled and even schools are closed. 

In light of current events, we have now switched from in-person lessons to live lessons remotely via Zoom, effective this past week.  We will constantly monitor the situation, but we will take this online approach indefinitely for the time being.
