Winter Happenings in the Loft

It is time for an update.  A very wintry February has arrived, and you've all been slogging down our LONG road for lessons in 2013.  I hope you know how much I appreciate your (and your parents') efforts to make it to your lessons.

Recent Lessons in the Loft Happenings:

December:  Our recital at Lighthaven Retirement Home in Bruce Mines.  Thank you students for your admirable performances.  I know that the old piano was a challenge to orient yourselves to, but you played beautifully and brought smiles and joy to the residents.  What a great Christmas gift for them!

Olivia Lawrence, 1998 to 2013
January:  Sadly, one of our lovely kitties and mascot, Olivia, passed away.  It was a very difficult time for us.  Thank you for your kind words and sympathy following our loss.  Our other little feline, Ophelia, will still be happy to greet you when you come for lessons - if she's not napping in some secret location.  FYI, if you check out our business card, Olivia is the cat lounging on the top left corner.

February:  It's time to start thinking ahead to the Sault Ste Marie Music Festival (formerly Kiwanis Music Festival).  Do you want to participate this year?  In the next couple of weeks we'll be discussing this at your lesson and filling out registration forms.  The dates for the 2013 piano segment of the festival are April 7 - 11.

Happy (Belated) New Year everyone!  We are looking forward to some great music-making in the loft this winter and spring.
