PINK meets weekly at Song in My Heart Studio in Frederik’s Court. The group will be touring the valley’s retirement homes in June, for an Arts Outreach sponsored Elder Reach event. The Fall season will begin at the end of September. Imani will also be starting a singing group for 7th-8th grade girls--HOT PINK in the fall. She plans to extend the use of harmony, style and choreography with this group, saying, “The girls who have sung in PINK for three years are really ready for more sophisticated music. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with them on a higher level.”In addition to PINK, Song In My Heart Studio offers Suzuki Guitar and Piano Lessons for children starting at age 4.For more information about PINK, HOT PINK, Guitar or Piano, visit the studio’s website www.simheart.com or contact Kathryn Imani at: 680- 4986.
