October 2021 Happenings

Happy October! A few studio highlights this month....

STUDIO CHALLENGE!

You may have noticed your student coming home with the EARLY BIRD STUDIO CHALLENGE! This optional activity is to encourage everyone to practice in the morning hours (when minds and bodies are fresh!) and get their practice done right away. Students who fill out 10 or more days on their chart will receive a prize at our Group Lesson on Oct. 27.

GROUP LESSONS

Speaking of Group Lessons, our first ones will be Wednesday, October 27! We will have small classes to give everyone enough time and distance. Come prepared to perform for your fellow young pianists! We will also delve into music theory games, composer stories, performance practice, and musically themed snacks.

1. K-6th grade: Oct. 27 @ 3:45-4:35pm

2. 7th-12th Repertoire Group: 4:45-5:35pm

3. 7th-12th Concerto Group: 5:45-6:45pm

MASTER LESSONS

Some of our students will be taking part in Master Lessons with Dr. Ricardo de la Torre on October 23. More information will be sent to participating students (you know who you are!).

CONCERTO COMPETITION

Also, a number of students will be taking part in the annual Concerto Competition, Nov. 20-21. Registration/fee deadline is October 12. I will be sending an email about this to participating students soon.

Let me know if you have any questions. It's looking like an exciting fall!
