Hello CPA families and friends.
I am excited to share that our CPA music classes will perform a winter concert on December
15th.
Your children have done incredible work preparing for this event. They have spent the past two
months learning new songs and practicing instruments. They have learned to perform as a
group and show resilience in perfecting their performances.
I am extremely proud of their hard work and dedication; they have shown immense growth this
year.
I look forward to the continued growth of our CPA music program and feel honored to share
music with your children.
