March newsletter

Hello all!  A few things about this month that you should all be aware of.  There are 5 weeks in March and the last week is Spring Break for Davis School District kids.  As such, we will have normal lessons for the first 4 weeks of March and make up lessons on the last week of March.  If you need to make up any lessons missed in February or March that were missed due to illness or something else, please let me know and we will schedule a time for that week.

Since this is the first week of March, please send signed practice records to lessons this week so that the students can get the extra Bradshaw bucks they earned.  Also, be sure to send payment for March before the 10th.

It seems rather early to be talking about summer already, but I am working on some ideas for summer music camps this year.  Before I get too far into planning, though, I would like to know who would be interested in having their student(s) attend a 4 day (M-Th) music camp for 2 hours a day in either June or July.  I'm thinking I would charge around $50-$60 for the week with a sibling discount.  Please let me know if you would be interested in the camp so that I can decide if I should move forward with plans.  As for summer lessons, that will depend upon the interest level in the music camps, but in any case, I will be taking the month of August off of teaching piano.

We are starting to assign recital songs.  Keep on the lookout for those to come home and be sure to add them to practicing.  Remember, the recital is on Saturday, April 16th at 2PM.  Let's make it another great one!  :)

As always, contact me with any questions or concerns.  Happy almost Spring!

Spring Recital Announcement

I have some fun plans for the Spring Recital, but because of the plans, we have to move it to a different location.  As such, the Spring Recital will be held on Saturday, April 16th, 2PM.  I will get the address & directions when it gets closer.  I know that the recital is scheduled on what may be a busy Saturday with sports and other commitments, but I'm hopeful that you all will be able to schedule this in advance in order to work around other conflicts.  We may have to miss a soccer game or other things that come up, but we will definitely be there.  :)  If your student(s) will not be able to make it to the recital, I need to know ASAP as that may affect other student's performances as well.  

We will have a group lesson prior to the recital on Friday, April 15th at 2PM at my house.  Though not as important as the recital, it would be beneficial for students to attend if they can.  Again, please let me know if your student(s) will or will not be attending in advance if you are able to do so.

Here's hoping for a fun Spring Recital!  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
