Singer-songwriter Arlene Yates, who also plays several musical instruments, will be joined by Fallbrook Symphony Orchestra violinist Elizabeth Monacelli and pianist Teri Niebel.

"They’re top-notch musicians," Yates said.

Magic Music is a music education partnership which includes the California Music Project, the National Association of Music Merchants, and the Music Teachers National Association.

"This is going to be my first stab at it," Yates said.

Yates plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, steel guitar, mandolin, ukelele, banjo, and saxophone.

In addition to their March 15 performance at the parochial school, the group also has a March 20 performance at the church grounds chapel.
