The Joy of Music School celebrated our successful 2022-2023 year of lessons and classes with not one, not two, but three Spring Recitals!

We were very pleased to return to the former First Christian Church, now known as the Point, for our Marilyn and James Dick Memorial Spring Recital on Saturday May 6. Forty-nine students performed, including the Introduction to Music Classes and the Baritone Ukulele Classes, followed by a buffet taco bar dinner in the fellowship hall.

Students and teachers who meet for their lessons online were featured on May 8 on Zoom. Seven students performed their selections on violin, piano and guitar. Joy of Music volunteer teachers who continue to teach on Zoom, some of whom are even out of state, were thrilled to enjoy their students’ performances from a distance.

On May 9 the JoMS Spring Strings Recital featured our violin students taught by the University of Tennessee School of Music String Pedagogy Class. These UT students teach for credit at JoMS and are supervised by Professor Hillary Herndon. Seven violin students performed along with an alto saxophone duet, who played The Second Waltz by Dimitri Shostakovich. It was quite the fun closer to a remarkable recital series!
