This month's spotlight is on our Mind-Builders Piano and Voice Instructor,
Robin Small and her son Amir Small!
| |
Earlier this month, Mind-Builders' esteemed piano and vocal instructor, Robin Small, along with her talented son, Amir Small, had the incredible opportunity to perform in the presence of the legendary singer-songwriter, Roberta Flack, at her own home! Their heartfelt performance resonated deeply with her, and she was so enamored by their talent that she extended a gracious invitation for Robin and Amir to return for more captivating melodies.
Congratulations Robin and Amir! You both are true testaments to the power of music and the remarkable connections they foster.
