Recital Saturday

Dear students and parents,

The much anticipated recital will held this Saturday, October 27 at 5 PM. The time has been changed in order to accommodate more students. It will be held at Gateway Preparatory Academy, 201 E Thoroughbred Way in Enoch. To get there, head north on Minersville Highway (if you come from the freeway, take the cedar city north main exit and turn west off the ramp). You will go straight through the intersection near the bowling alley. Thoroughbred is on the left. There will be a left turn arrow in the merge. Continue on that road and you will see the school on the right.

Students should wear Sunday dress. There will be refreshments after. If I haven't asked you specifically to bring something, I could still use more treats and napkins.

Thanks for all your hard work an patience. See you Saturday!

Recital Postponed

Dear students and parents,

I had planned on holding a recital this Saturday, but so few people will be able to make it that I have decided to move it to Saturday, October 27 at 3 PM. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!

Wedding, October recital

As many of you know, I am getting married on September 21, so there won't be lessons from that day until Monday, October 1. I would be delighted so see you at the reception on the 22nd though!

Our first recital of the school year will be on October 13 at 3 in the afternoon. The place is still to be determined.. I will be helping students choose songs this week.

I handed out policy letters a few weeks ago. If you haven't already, please look over it. There is some new information in the "fees and payment" section. If everything looks agreeable, go ahed and fill out the back page and give it to me so I have your information in my records.

Thanks for being great students and supportive parents! I feel so lucky to have a bunch of students I look forward to teaching every day.

Happy practicing!

Summer break is ending- Updated

The summer is quickly coming to a close.  I hope you have all enjoyed your month off of lessons.  I did, but I am excited to get back to teaching all my wonderful students!  Lessons will resume in Cedar City on Tuesday, August 7, and in Beaver on Wednesday, August 8.  If you have any questions about what time your lesson will be held, feel free to give me a call or send me a text or e-mail message.  Also, if you have any special scheduling requests for the school year, please let me know soon so you can be sure to have the time you need.

Thanks!  I look forward to seeing you soon.

Recital today!

Hello students! 

The recital today is at 5:00 at Gateway Preparatory Academy.  The address is 201 Thoroughbred Way in Enoch.  If you're coming on the freeway, take exit 62, turn right onto Minersville Highway, then left on Thoroughbred Way.  It is past the stake center, and there will be a left turn arrow in the merge lane. 

Remember to stay relaxed today.  All my students have prepared well and are ready to perform, so don't worry!  If you are one who gets nervous, eat a banana before you leave for the recital.  It's a weird trick I learned as a music performance major that really works!

See you there!

It's recital time again!

Dear students and families,

I'd like to remind you that the next recital for my student's participation is on Saturday, February 11 at 5:00 PM-  just under 4 weeks from today.  We will be choosing recital pieces this week, so please work on getting those memorized for the recital.  I do encourage all students to memorize their pieces, but if they try hard and aren't able to do so by the time of the recital, I will allow them to use their music.

The most difficult part of every recital seems to be finding an accompanist to play the piano with my students, and finding time to practice with them.  If you have a friend or neighbor who is willing and able to play that day, if may be easier for you to ask them.  My mom is willing to accompany students who can't find someone else to play for them, and I will help schedule a time you can meet with her to practice.

Thanks for being such great students and supportive families.  I am excited to see all that this new year will bring!
