Summer Lessons!

Have you signed up for summer yet??

Remember that you have to do TWO things to sign up. First is to get on the schedule here:

It doesn't have to be a consistent day or time from week to week, and you can change your schedule as things change.

ALSO make sure you register on MANC's registration page here:

If you aren't sure how many lessons you'll actually get this summer, just sign up for 4 (there is a drop-down menu that prorates summer lesson) and you can add more later if needed.

Congratulations to all of this years' merit scholarship winners!!

Congratulations to everyone on a fantastic spring recital! I am so proud of you all and all the hard work you have put towards piano this year.

Please remember to attend our final Group Piano class of the spring this Saturday, May 14th at 9:30 am!! This class will serve as our rehearsal for next week's recital, so I hope to see as many of you there as possible.

Group Piano this Saturday

Group piano class is this weekend! Students are invited to come on Saturday from 9:30-10:30 am. We will have two rooms of musical activities, including a masterclass with Connie Kotis, for students of all ages and abilities. I hope to see you there!

Group Piano Classes

The piano faculty have met and we have great plans for group piano this spring!  Some classes will be performance classes, and others will have topic discussions, games, or other activities.  Perhaps equally as important, this is a great opportunity to build an atmosphere of community and collaboration among our piano students. I believe last semester was a great success, and both teachers and students have benefited from this format. 

A few details: 

• Students are invited but not required to come to all four group piano classes that we offer.
• Because of these classes our studio schedule will occasionally differ from the official MANC calendar. Contact me if you have any questions.
• Several studios are participating (Wisuthseriwong, Blankenship, Leddy, and my own studio) this year and often we will separate junior" and "senior" classes. This way students can work in smaller groups with students around their age.

• For the most part we ask that group classes be students-only. We will invited parents and families in on certain days, but we have found that students were more open and engaged when it was just "the kids."

• Unless otherwise noted, all group classes will be held on Saturday mornings at 9:30 am.

This spring's piano class dates include:

• Feb 27
• March 19
• April 16
• May 14
