Winter Recitals are here!

We are so excited to hear our music students 🥁🎹🎸🎺🎻🎼🎤share their talents! We have guitar, piano, voice, drums, strings, and winds performers who are excited to share what they’ve learned!

This year’s performances are on Zoom to keep everybody as safe as possible.  We can’t wait to hear each students’ unique voice! 😍 

Allegro Recitals are a huge part of the student experience. We hold recitals twice annually, and they are the favorite days of the year for our teachers and staff! 

Picture Day photos are ready

Our annual school picture day was a huge success this year.  Holding the event outdoors was new for Allegro and the pictures turned out to be unique and spectacular, just like our students!

Thanks to our photographer, Manuel Ruiz Photography!

Meet Office Manager, KJ

KJ describes herself as a jack of all trades. She loves working at Allegro because she loves music and community, and at Allegro she gets both. Some of her current passions are gardening, sewing, painting and drawing with watercolors and inks, and (weirdly enough) geology. Who knows what her obscure passions will be next year? Some of her favorite things include eating sushi with her wife, morning gardening with her cat Sgt. Pepper, and that feeling when you finish a piece of art and get to look at the finished product.

My name is Cordero (Drums) and I was born and raised here in Tucson. I have been playing the drums since elementary school and have been in numerous bands and programs throughout my life. I graduated from Tucson High in 2009 and went on to pursue a music degree from Portland State University in Portland, OR. 

I lived in Portland for 13 years, studying and performing music over the course of my time there. I helped to build a new, diverse, community of musicians by creating and hosting a weekly jam session. Participants were invited up on stage to play for each other and audiences alike. All of the positive outcomes and amazing memories from this jam session made it one of the most rewarding musical experiences I’ve had. 

The desert finally called me back and here I am now. If I’m not practicing or performing music, I’m out enjoying nature with my fiancé and dogs, or relaxing with them at home!
