We've ended our 2012-2013 school year at Lessons in the Loft by celebrating with another great recital.

We were proud of the students for giving such composed, expressive performances. It has been fun observing the musical development of everyone through the months and years.

The Thursday after the recital, Alyssa and Helen took their first Royal Conservatory exams. During the 2012-2013 school year both students practiced and worked very hard with Hannah-Lee in preparation for the Grade One requirements. It will be a few weeks before the results are posted, but both girls felt that they had a good experience, played well, and remembered their technique (all those scales and triads)! We'll keep you posted.
In April, eight of our piano students participated in the Sault Ste Marie Music Festival. All of them gave successful performances, had the opportunity to hear other students play and to interact with the adjudicator who worked with each of them individually on their strengths and weaknesses.

In March, we were excited to have three guitar students join our roster and Eric began stepping them through acoustic guitar basics. Benjamin, Colby and Aidan are progressing well and we look forward to future performances from them.

Thanks to all students, parents and grandparents for such a rewarding year. Have a fun, safe, happy summer! Lessons will start again in September, the second week of school. We are looking forward to it.
