Students responsibility  to attend lessons

Am a year round Instructor. My present roster attends lessons on a yearly basis. I to f course make arrangements to reschedule when my students go on vacations.

It is a two way street, I don't want to penalize them for going on vacation and on the other hand want to insure that they progress so countenuity counts and I have to be responsible financially  and protect my time and income.

Tried it and liked it😎💘

Made lots of lifetime friend s over the years my like to see students gratified by their progreds, enjoy music for hopefully a lifetime, and observe their confidence when they can do something bc well. Helps to get together w other students.

Holiday open house

40 people (students &parents )

Two shifts 5-7, 7-9 food and music ended the evening eirw students on two piano an os playing from a SINGLE  Christmas carol book!

Two cellists doubled as pianists, a singer, 4 students at two pianois! Students very creative and tech savvy

Took pics with theit camera phones and read from them in questionable light. Hilarity ensued! Played this way for 45 minutes!

Also, Schuyler ward, played her prelude after Back entitled "going up the mountain" she also played 4 or 5 Christmas carols that she prepared. At 11 years told her she played her first "Holiday Gig!"

Her piece was in the Composers Corner" students compose , create a cover I input into notation software from a phone recording and bind it, make a color copy on their cover art and sell for $1.00 at student events. 25¢goes to SPCA and 75¢ to student therefore the student learns, explores their creativity and pays it forward. Schuyler sold 3 copies! Write the students a check😎

A fun time had by all. Lots of good comments from students and families.

Be prepared to work consistently and you will reap the benefits and ENJOY!!!
