🎶 Celebrating Our 2025 Spring Recital + A Special Book Signing!

Our annual Spring Recital is just around the corner, and the excitement is growing here at Piano Performance Arts Academy!

On Saturday, April 26th, students from across our program will take the stage at the beautiful Steinway Gallery in Tampa to showcase the music they’ve worked so hard to prepare.

This recital is more than just a performance — it’s a celebration of progress, creativity, and confidence.

From beginners to advancing players, each student brings their own spark and story to the stage. Whether it’s their very first time performing or their tenth, this is a moment to shine.

📅 Recital Details:

Date: Saturday, April 26th

Location: Steinway Gallery – 2907 W Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, FL

Times:

• 12:00 PM• 1:30 PM• 3:00 PM

We encourage families to arrive early, cheer loudly, and enjoy every moment of this musical milestone.

✨ Special Announcement: Book Signing with Ms. Aline!

This year’s recital also marks a personal milestone for me — I’ll be celebrating the release of my new children’s book, Maya and the Magic Piano Keys 🎹📚

Inspired by my students and our shared love for music, this story follows Maya on a magical piano adventure full of imagination, growth, and heart.

It’s a joyful read for young musicians and anyone who’s ever found magic in music.

📍 After each recital session, I’ll be signing books at my table inside the gallery. Books will be available for purchase, and I’d be honored to personalize one for your family.

🖼️ Don’t Miss:

✔ Beautiful performances by our talented students

✔ A chance to meet the author and take a photo

I’m so proud of each student performing this year — and so grateful to the families who support their musical journeys.

Thank you for being part of this special day, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

With joy,
