Recital 2006

 

Silver Music Studios would like to acknowledge all whom participated and joined us for this year's 3rd Annual Recital.  It just gets better every year. With over 40 performances between students and teachers, you all really continue to shine.

Co-Owner Spotlight: Amelia Mae     Amelia is here to "Shake you all night long"!  The newest addition to our little group of educators. She's a screamer...........usually between 2 Am and 6 Am. Amelia is no-nonsense. She likes her music like she likes her drinks: pure and straight.  Please don't cross her or she'll be "Back in Black"! Sorry, I couldn't resist.
