Monday, February 17th 2014

Many presidents have been musically inclined. Warren G. Harding, pictured on tuba, was an avowed multi-instrumentalist. Thomas Jefferson was an extremely accomplished violinist. Bill Clinton famously played the sax on the Arsenio Hall Show.

But really, we'll admit it, this is just an excuse for a quick sale! We have a couple of very cool group classes scheduled for March. If you enroll by end of day tomorrow, you can take $25 off any of them by using the code: PREZplay. (We also admit to loving puns.)
