At three years of age, Alexis’s teacher, a religious sister, bought her a keyboard from Walgreens. She spent time in her room with it. Music was part of the family environment, as in the morning before work, they listened to classical music, and in the evening, her dad turned on the radio to the jazz station.
Private lessons are a crucial part of the training that young musicians need for playing their instrument in an advanced orchestra, and for playing music that requires high-level skills to perform. Our families are encouraged to provide private instruction for their student by paying for weekly lessons with an established instructor.
What a delight it was to be immersed in the fun and fabulous music of the Spokane Youth Symphony.
