Flute, piano, and voice instructor Stefanie Santoro hosted a virtual holiday showcase this year, which you can watch in full right here! We are proud of Stefanie’s efforts and love seeing the dedication of her students come to fruition in performances such as these.
Stefanie Santoro is an instructor of flute, piano, and voice at Elefante Music.

Ms Santoro teaches a variety of styles from classical to jazz, and her students range in age from kindergarten to adult.
Upright bass, also called string bass or double bass, is a member of the orchestra family. Just as often, however, it appears in jazz, bluegrass, folk, and other genres. With a large hollow body and 4 thick strings, the tones produced by the upright bass are low and rich. The instrument is capable of long, expressive tones when played with a bow; and short, percussive tones when plucked with the strings. String bass is a dynamic and impressive instrument to play!
The oboe is a woodwind and a member of the double-reed family. It is played by blowing air through the reed, attached at the top of the instrument. The reed consists of two very thin pieces of cane, pressed together with a small opening to allow air to pass through. The sound can be high in pitch, but it has a variety of colorful tones, from bright and piercing to low and mysterious.
