In May, the R.S.A. String Ensemble performed at C.S.U. Sacramento at the "State" level and won the "Gold Medal Award." This is a huge accomplishment for our R.S.A. musicians!

I will be teaching private lessons over the summer at Mike's Music for anyone interested in keeping their skills up and getting a lot better over the vacation.

Virtuoso violinist, Michael Eby (Manhattan School of Music)performed for our R.S.A. kids and had two masterclasses with them...also, the son of Mrs. Eby.
