On Tuesday May 31, 2005 twenty-six young and talented musicians performed for family members and friends at the annual Spring Piano Recital at the Cashman Center of WITC. Jerri's students performed selections by a wide variety of composers including Beethoven, Mozart, Debussy, Copland, J.S. Bach and Dvorak. Lee Stovall, who graduated this spring from New Richmond High School, performed an original Improvisation to conclude the program. After the presentation of awards, we had a chance to visit and enjoy refreshments with parents, grandparents, friends and happy students.
