For 26 years, Woodmere Music studios has helped shape young musicians across the Five towns, providing lessons that extend far beyond learning notes and scales. the studio celebrated another year of achievement with its annual end-of-year recital, showcasing students ranging from beginners to advanced performers. the studio’s 26th annu-
al recital series was on June 21 and 29 at the lynbrook Public library. students will perform on a variety of instruments, including piano, guitar, violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, saxophone and voice. For founder and director Patricia lee, the recitals represent the culmination of months of hard work while also fulfilling a lifelong mission.
“Woodmere Music studios, now in its 26th year, is a music school that has helped thousands of students in the community learn music and important life lessons,” lee said. “it was a personal dream of mine to
help the community and the next generation achieve goals by learning how to set goals through music, recitals and giving back to the community through performances.” — Melissa Berman
