Fall 2021

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer. Thank you all for coming to the Ice Cream Social in our backyard!    It was a lot of fun!  So good to have a performance of sorts after all our virtual performances through this pandemic.  Thank you for the enthusiasm, the encouragement, and the empowerment that parents, guardians, grandparents, and even great grand parents have given to my students by bringing them to their lesson, checking their challenge for the week, and supporting their hard work through attendance to their recital performances.  I am very grateful!  

A warm welcome to my new families.    There is plenty planned ahead. Here's a taste of some of my plans:

Semester begins at beginning of  August - December - total of 16 lessons.

I have an end-of-SummerRecital in September (my backyard again!)   Students are always  working on a piano project - compositions, recital pieces, community events, and/or studio challenges.  We feature all their accomplishments at the recitals or a recording.  

The Annual Halloween Recital    Along with planning their costumes, students participate in Halloween-themed music.  This recital is optional. During COVID, the recitals were on-line!  Some parents and students can become pretty creative with at-home recordings! 

The last recital for the Fall  semester is the  Annual Christmas Recital!  

Don’t be surprised to hear your child playing a Christmas Carol in October! It’s all part of preparation for the Christmas Recital. I love all the different Christmas Music arrangements that are out there. 

Students, be ready to practice every day to be well prepared for all these fun activities. I look forward to all these recitals and all my students' accomplishments!
