The Littlest Loves

We sure adore these little guys. They might be hanging around the studio with Denae from time to time. Since Hyram's arrival, David and our growing faculty to fabulous teachers have taken over the majority of lessons, while Denae mostly keeps the studio organized and running. Hyram and Gavin are not currently taking any students, but enjoy participating in Let's Play Music, and have begun a serious study of the xylophone. ;)
