The students of Artstars Studios LLC of Great Falls recently held piano recitals. The theme of the recitals was "Pets On Parade."
Each student learned a piano piece related to a pet. The musical selections included "The Waltzing Cat" by Leroy Anderson, "The Playful Poodle" by Margarite Reich, and "Hamster Chase" by Martha Mier.
The instructor for Artstars Studios is Mary Jane Cogan, who has taught piano for over 25 years.
She is also an artist, and so she encouraged her pianists to create a painting related to their musical selection. The results were a recital hall filled with wonderful music and colorful art.
Artstars Studios also remembered those less fortunate animals without loving homes, so donations were collected at the recitals and sent to a local animal shelter.
