Video: Julie and Michael play compositions by their music teacher, Joe Natoli.

Joseph Natoli’s students (total of 14) will be presenting their annual recital (now virtually for the 2nd year in a row because of Covid). Students range in age from 9 to 70 years of age, and all will be performing something special and interesting. The youngest students Julie and Michael (sister and brother) have only been studying with Joe since December of 2021 and they are progressing at such a rapid rate, we couldn’t resist showing a little video of two original pieces that Joe composed for them specifically for this recital. Julie will be playing “Hiccups” and Michael will be playing “Be Brave” written especially for each of them by their teacher Joe Natoli.

Julie is in the 3rd grade and started accordion lessons last December.  She enjoys learning songs and the sound of the accordion.  She has been playing piano for three years and also enjoys learning ballet and playing soccer. 

Michael is in the 4th grade and is enjoying playing the accordion.  He started playing piano five years ago and started with the accordion last December.  Outside of school and music he enjoys karate and soccer.

Joe will also be performing a few pieces virtually for his students in the recital. Wish them all luck, especially the youngsters, because they are the future of our instrument.
