2nd Saturdays Showcase
Always the 2nd Saturday of the month / 12-1:00pm
2nd Saturdays Showcase is a free event hosted by MUSIC MOTIVE on the 2nd Saturday of every month. Get it? 2nd Saturdays... the 2nd Saturday of every month... I made that up myself. Clever huh? Anyway, it's really just an excuse to allow one of our staff teachers anopportunity to tell everything they know about the instrument they play, how they acquired their own talent, and demonstrate some of their playing skills. Sometimes we mix it up with a variety of teachers, musical subjects and performances, or even have a special guest from some exotic far away place, like Fresno or L.A. or somewhere. Whatever the case, it's always musical, always fun, and always inspiring to anyone who loves music like we do!
