Alumni Graduation: Solo Show by Francois Barrilleaux
Francois first started when he was just 9 years old and went on to study piano and voice with us for the next 8 years. Here is a highlights video of the show-July 28th, 2018.
“Piano has given me an outlet. During school when I’m really busy with stuff I have the piano. I can compose my own music, sing songs and do whatever I want really and just enjoy myself for a little bit. Take some time out of my day to just play music. It’s really been a creative outlet for me. It’s also just nice to perform. It always feels really good after I perform in front of people. They enjoy what I play or what I sang. Even though it can be kind of nerve-wracking sometimes being in front of an audience…it’s very rewarding!”
