2013/2014 Studio Schedule

Welcome back!  I have been busily planning for a great year.  

Recitals:  The morning of December 7 will be the Christmas Open House.  I hope every student will participate on a team for this.  Individual students will be featured between teams.  This is always a fun event.

                  The Spring recital will be May 12. 

Master Classes:  This year we will study music history in Master Classes.  I have some fun activities planned.  I am hiring a dance instructor to teach us the minuet.  And we will experience chance music by writing a song using dice.  
                          Oct. 12, (Saturday) Classical Period
                           Nov 15, Baroque Period
                           Feb 28, Romantic Period / Impressionistic Music
                           Apr. 11, Modern Period
Team Festival: November 2  
           If you haven't tried a piano team yet give it a try.  Playing piano is such a solitary activity.  Joining a team adds a social experience and it's fun!!

AIM:  May 3
           Aim stands for Achievement in Music.  I am a firm believer in the Aim program.  For a nominal fee of $20 a student is evaluated in ear training, technique, performance, theory and a creative music project.  It is work, but I feel my aim students progression is worth the extra effort.  There are other programs such as Federation, or Young Artist Competitions, but this is the one I feel is the best.  If you are interested let me know early in the fall so I can give you the requirements for your level.  When you pass the level you get an awesome medallion.
