Uncovering the lost music written by prisoners in concentration camps during the Holocaust

https://www.cbsnews.com/video/holocaust-prisoners-in-nazi-concentration-camps-made-music-now-its-being-discovered-and-performed-60-minutes-2019-12/

More than 6 million people, most of them Jews, died in the Holocaust. The music they wrote as a temporary escape, however, did not, thanks in part to the efforts of an Italian composer and pianist. Jon Wertheim reports.

OPINION | The truth about piano lessons: Opinion | CBC News

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-value-of-piano-1.5359491

The "results" of beginner piano lessons may not always be obvious, but your child is getting so much more from their piano lessons than you can see (or hear!).

ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS:

We have had a slight change for tomorrow night for First Friday. Instead of performing at The Diner, (loooong story), we have been moved to Sona Bank (1 East Market Street). This is actually a much better venue 😁 The acoustics are amazing.
You will still be performing at the same times. Please be there at the same times.
EVERYTHING IS THE SAME EXCEPT THE LOCATION. 😁
*Please note: because this is a bank, there will be NO public bathrooms.*
Thank You all for your understanding. I know the performances will be wonderful.

Miss Nelson has gone missing and the crazy students of room 207 have taken her kindness for granted for the last time. This shocking realization comes when their horribly mean sub, Miss Viola Swamp, shows up for class. This story has 12 AMAZING student roles where each performer will have the opportunity of using their own name or a made up name while putting their own personality into the role! A boring principal and two hilarious detectives try to solve the missing persons case while four larger than life janitors tell the tale. This is a HILARIOUS show. And we are so excited to start working on it! Auditions are 11/23 sign up today!

⭐️Do you have a student who LOVES to perform? ⭐️

Do they love to sing at any given moment? 🎤 Do they memorize movies and books with ease? 📖 Have you ever caught them dancing to the beat of their own drum? 🎶

We think that our winter musical and performance showcase would be a PERFECT fit for your budding star! 🌟💫

A talent show and a 30 min musical all performed in the same hour and a half! 😲 💥 🤯

Your student can have the opportunity to perform a song, scene, monologue, or dance as a soloist or a group. Then those same amazing students will perform the hilariously, fast paced, and high energy musical: Miss Nelson goes Missing ([email protected] Edition)

If you think you know someone who would fit this description, tag them, share this post, and come see this amazing evening of performances with us! 🎭
