How do you turn an ordinary, nearly boring baby grand piano into a piece that glimmers in its place and excites those around it? 

A better question - how do you stand out at among vendors lining 30 blocks in the Hawthorne District to attract new students into an up-and-coming place for cooperative music education in the SE?

Paint! 

All I have to say is a huge thank you to Damian Zari of Zariart. This is one talented artist who I know has a huge career ahead of himself. He graciously donated his time, energy, and creativity for our project and we cannot imagine it any other way! Please, visit his website right away!

Furthermore, the CTAs all had a wonderful time at the Hawthorne Street Fair this past Sunday, chugging water and snacking on cool watermelon slices in the shade. We made a lot of strong connections and were excited about getting out faces into the community as the fall teaching season is right around the corner. Stay tuned for a few money-saving promotions for new and returning students soon.!
