HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!!
1.Congratulations to Benjamin Griswold, who won the Piano Maestro Challenge this summer. He placed first in 6 of the 8 weeks in time spent practicing, using this amazing app. Benjamin received his prize in class. I am posting a picture of Ben and his prize on the website. Way to go, Benjamin!!!!!!!!!!
2. GOOD NEWS! The Summer Challenge will be a do-over this week and Monday of next, because I lost my TALLY sheet (actually, true to form, I gave it to a student when I handed them their books and have not been able to locate it!) So, please practice your summer challenge and I will hear you this week and next.
3. The Activities Fees are past due, so if you have not sent them in and would like your child to participate in any activities within the studio this year, please send them with your child this week to their lesson. Please check your check book and make sure.
4. Theory Classes begin.* Our first class will be on Saturday, September 19th. The schedule will follow, but just to let you know, early levels (P-5) will be in the morning, between 9-12:30pm and later levels (6-10) will be in the afternoon. A complete schedule of classes will be coming in the next week. PLEASE MAKE NOTE: Classes for levels that contain less than 2 students, Levels 2, 3 and 6, will not be on the schedule and you will need to do the work in your lesson and at home. You may, however, attend the classes that are just below your level, for refresher, or just above your level.
Please remember, Theory Classes are offered free as a bonus to lesson time. They are offered to support the work that is being done at your lesson and at home. Please honor this gift by ensuring all assigned work is completed prior to attending. Students will need to come to class with their theory materials, prepared to work- and have fun!
*Rowdy and /or disrespectful students, while they are entertaining, will be calling their parents to come and pick them up immediately. Please have that conversation with your child BEFORE coming to the first theory class :-)
*I will have a sign up sheet for theory classes each week, please take the time to come in and sign up for your child's class. If there are less than 2 students signed up for a level, that class will be cancelled for the week.
Finally, please see below for a wonderful opportunity to hear absolutely amazing playing. Rachel Naomi Kudo placed 2nd in the National Chopin Competition this past March. She advanced to the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, where she advanced to the finals and will be competing in October (all rounds of which can be watched online in October) This is a free concert that you and your family can attend. Please get there EARLY as it will be packed! As of now, I am planning to attend, as well. I hope to see you there!
Musically yours,
Mrs. Purchase
