Tunes at Noon

Congratulations to my students Kezia and Karissa Sitepu, who performed at this year's Tunes at Noon downtown. You both performed beautifully and represented the studio so well! (Sorry I didn't get a picture of you performing, Kezia, since we played together! If someone else got one I'd be happy to post it.)

Group Piano

The piano faculty have met and we have great plans for group piano this fall!  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 year was a great success, and both teachers and students have benefited from this format. 

A few changes this year: 

• Several studios are participating (Wisuthseriwong, Blankenship, Leddy, and my own studio) this year so 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."

• We will not be using Sign Up Genius to RSVP. We will remind you of the dates in lessons and over email, but we are eliminating that step of the process.

• All group classes will be held on Saturday mornings at 9:30 am.
