I hope the holidays treated you well and you have all made your resolutions to practice even more! Here are some important dates as we look at the new year!
Recital Dates
Our next recital is our ensemble recital. Over the next two weeks you will be placed in a group and will receive music. There will be two recital dates offered and you must make sure your partner, or partners can attend that date as well. The two recital dates offered will be:
Recital #1
March 21st at 6:30 p.m. at The Lindon Community Center (25 N Main St. Lindon, Ut)
Recital #2
March 24th at 6:30 p.m. at The Lindon Community Center (25 N Main St. Lindon, Ut)
March 24th at 6:30 p.m. at The Lindon Community Center (25 N Main St. Lindon, Ut)
In the past, i have held lessons during recital week but that will change this time. There will be NO LESSONS on the week of the recital. There will also be no recital fee and it will just be included as part of the monthly tuition. I hope that makes things simpler for everyone.
Group Classes
There will be two group classes held this semester.
Group Class #1
Little Ones - February 15th from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Elementary Group- February 15th from 4:30- 6:00 p.m.
Junior High- February 17th from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
High School- February 16th from 3:00-4:30 p.m.
Group Class #2
Little Ones - May 2nd from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Elementary Group- May 2nd from 4:30- 6:00 p.m.
Junior High- May 4th from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
High School- May 3rd from 3:00-4:30 p.m.
I know it can be tricky to get kids to group class since it is a change in the schedule, but I really appreciate it. Group Class #1 is especially important as it will be the first chance to perform with their ensemble for the recital.
I know this post is incredibly long but you've almost made it through! A few more things.
T.A.C.O. (The Awesome Children's Orchestra) and L.Y.O (Lindon Youth Orchestra)
My children's and youth orchestra are starting back up again for the winter semester. If you are interested in a fun and exciting group experience for your students send them my way. We would love to work with them. More info can be found at www.lindonchambermusicsociety.org
Utah Valley String Festival
Utah Valley String Festival is an event taking place on March 4th and 5th at American Heritage School. I have registered and would love to see some of my students attend. As a student, you are required to perform two contrasting pieces appropriate for your ability level and will perform them for some judges. The student will receive feedback from the judges and have the possibility of moving on and performing at the honors recital. There is a $15 entrance fee for attending. If you are interested please let me know a.s.a.p. as registration is due at the beginning of February. The more chances we have to perform, the better we get at it! It's also nice for students to receive feedback from someone other than their teacher. The more information we get the better!
More dates to mark on the calendar. There will be no lessons:
April 4th-8th- Spring Break
May 23rd-27th- Last Week of School
I will also be taking the month of June off because I will have a baby girl coming at the end of May! Tuition for May will be reduced accordingly.
I'm so grateful I get to teach such wonderful students! Thank you for all you do and please let me know of any questions you may have.
Cheers!
