🎶☀️ Summer Recital Recap: A Day to Remember at Benbrook Music Academy!
What an incredible day it was!
Over 70 students from Benbrook Music Academy took the stage at our Summer Recital, showcasing their talents in piano, drums, voice, violin, and guitar—all under one roof. 🎹🥁🎤🎻🎸
From classical masterpieces to pop favorites, from first-time performers to seasoned recital stars, every student brought their own unique style, heart, and hard work to the spotlight. And honestly? We were blown away by every single performance.

Why This Recital Was So Special
✅ Every student was seen. Each performer received recognition for their courage, effort, and musical growth.
✅ You belong here. Families, friends, and teachers came together to cheer each other on—our academy is more than lessons; it’s a supportive community.
✅ No two performances were the same. We celebrate what makes each student unique. Our program is personalized, creative, and meaningful.
✅ We’re here for the long haul. Whether you’ve been with us for 2 months or 2 years, we’re honored to be part of your child’s journey. We’ll keep showing up, growing with you, and helping your child shine.
Giving Back: Supporting Stone’s Throw Farm
Thanks to the generosity of our students and families, we were proud to donate $1,000 to Stone’s Throw Farm this summer. Your kindness helps support a wonderful cause and makes a real difference in our community.
Summer is the perfect time to build confidence, learn new songs, and prepare for the next big milestone. Keep showing up—your child is creating something truly special here.
We’re so proud of every student who performed, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!
