Piano students of Rudolph Nemeth and vocal students of Lisa Griggs appeared in a Music Arts recital on Sunday, February 7. The event, which started at 2 pm, took place at the West Village Christian Church on Robertsville Road.

Performing were Michael Raines, Melanie Fann, Matthias Brown, Peter Podar, Kelsey Ridenour, Meagan Kessell and Alex Sample, students of Nemeth; and Mayuri Jagadish, Kris Sammons and Emily Cottrell, students of Lisa Griggs.

An intermission quiz, titled “What’s that Sound,” asked students to identify a wide range of instruments, and correct answers were rewarded with small prizes. In addition, Kelsey Ridenour won a Music Arts sheet music bag, and Alex Sample won a flying disk.

Hosts for the reception following the well-attended performance were Karen Earle and Kris Sammons.

Music Arts, formed in 1983, with a faculty of twenty professional musicians, offers instruction in band and orchestral instruments, piano, voice, guitar and mandolin. The school presents frequent recitals so students can perform when they’re at their peak. A nonprofit organization, the school offers scholarships to qualifying students of all ages.

October 18th Recital

October 15th Recital

Our recitals are not grueling marathons! They’re designed to last about one hour, with smaller audiences. Everyone loves the Intermission Quiz, where students are rewarded with mystery prizes for correct answers to musical questions. Let your instructor know that you’d like to be included. And if you’re not quiiiiiite sure about appearing in one, come and be part of the audience. It should reassure you that we don’t make people miserable!

These students of Rudolph Nemeth, Ilia Steinscheider and Lois White were in our October 15, 2009 recital, and they seemed to have survived it!
