Recital News

Some of you have been asking about the date for our end-of-year recital, and I'm sending home letters about that this week.  Our tentative date is Sunday, June 24th at 4 PM.  We'll be performing at Calvary Baptist Church again; definitely loving that new Yamaha baby grand!  Let me know if you cannot make that date.  It's important that all of you be there, so I will adjust the date accordingly.  This is one of the luxuries of having a small class.  So RSVP and keep on practicing.  I'm looking forward to a great evening of music!

2012 Sault Ste Marie Music Festival

Congratulations to students H. Lawrence and A. Stevens who performed successfully in the Sault Ste. Marie Music Festival this past weekend.  H. Lawrence played Spooks by Clifford Poole, and A. Stevens played Forest Drums by Faber & Faber.  The adjudicator commended both girls for their expressive playing and both pianists said that they enjoyed the experience and hope to play again next year.  The S.S.M. Music Festival is a great opportunity for young musicians to gain performance experience and to get outside feedback on their skills.  This year's adjudicator in the piano division, Marlene Finn, gave very encouraging and constructive comments to the participants and worked right at the piano with each individual.  It was a valuable learning experience for both the students and teachers!
And this just in:
This afternoon the festival scholarship winners were announced, and A. Stevens was awarded the $25.00 Helbling Piano Workshop Scholarship for her performance.  We are all very proud of her!  Congratulations!

Welcome to the Loft

The Piano Studio

March Break is over and lessons have started up again.  You've all been finding us at the new location, so we have successfully transitioned!  Remember to spread the word about lessons, and let your friends know that we have space for new piano, flute, guitar and trumpet students.

In studio news...
Piano students H. Lawrence and A. Stevens are preparing to play in the Sault Ste Marie Music Festival (formerly Kiwanis Music Festival) during the last weekend of March.  We wish them all the best and hope that they both enjoy and learn much from the experience! 

Visit the Algoma Conservatory website for information about the Sault Ste Marie Music Festival.

Welcome to Our New Studio

We have successfully moved into our loft on Finns Bay Road along with our piano, guitars, other music instruments and our two Singaporean cats, Olivia and Ophelia. And yes, all the other necessities of life!  There are boxes and bins piled everywhere, but we are slowly making progress and feeling more settled every day.

There is plenty of space for current and new piano students, and we'll be opening up new lesson slots for flute, guitar, and trumpet students as well. Please tell your friends to give us a call if they are interested, or direct them to this blogsite.  

Check out our "Contact Us" page for directions to the new place.  See you after March Break in the loft!
