Piano Studios of Susannah Steele and Christy Wisuthseriwong
Dear Parents,
We are excited to start planning for a new year of piano! It is hard to believe that it is already August! Where has the summer gone?
The fall trimester at MANC begins the week of August 25. If you have not already signed up for your lesson time, please do so HERE. To pay your tuition and complete your registration for lessons make sure you go to MANC's Registration page http://www.
This year, we are excited to announce a new program for the students in the Steele/Wisuthseriwong studios. We will be combining our studios to do some group piano classes this year. The tuition will stay the same, but instead of receiving 18 private lessons, each student will receive 16 private lessons in the fall term and can attend up to 4 group classes.
This is a great opportunity to build an atmosphere of community and collaboration among our piano students: they’ll get to know each other by playing for and listening to each other. We’ll also be able to expand our piano ensemble opportunities, and have a chance to do some other supplemental things that we often don’t have time to do in lessons, like learn more about great performers and composers, talk about recital etiquette, and play music learning games! Christy and I both agree that both teachers and students will benefit from this new format.
Students are welcome to attend all 4 group classes dates, or as many as you are able. We will send out a link through Sign Up Genius for you to RSVP for the class(es) that you will attend.
