About 20 young musicians performed a free concert at the Lititz Farmers Market in Lititz Springs Park Thursday. They’re students of Rob Reese, owner of Rob’s Rock School in Lititz, says when he was a teen in the early 2000s, opportunities for young musicians like him to play live were scarce.
“Part of my approach with lessons is bringing as many (performance) opportunities as possible,” Reese said.
Reese, of Manheim, said about 70 students attend lessons at his school, at 7 E. Orange St. in Lititz. Reese teaches guitar at the school, Cass Duignan teaches piano.
Thursday’s concert in Lititz ended in a communal jam of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s eternal “Free Bird,” complete with plenty of guitar solos.
