Our most recent Penfield Guitar School Winter Recital was held on December 14, 2025 - with nearly 20 students performing solo or in a group, and around 70 audience members, this was by far our biggest recital yet! Students of all ages, experience, and level participated in this recital and everyone did a wonderful job 🤘

Recital participation is open to all students who are registered for lessons at Penfield Guitar School. If you or someone you know is interested in lessons and in playing in one of our concerts, feel free to reach out here, via email, or on penfieldguitarschool.com.

Though we are a few weeks into the semester, it still isn't too late to register and and start taking lessons!
