IMPORTANT MAY DATES TO REMEMBER:

 

GUILD AUDITIONS ARE ALMOST OVER - SATURDAY, APRIL 26TH. It is now time to relax and get ready for the Annual Awards Recital.  No more scales and chords until September.  We now drop the repetitive pieces (except for the Recital Pieces).  Lessons will now return to advancing and growing in our music.

 

SPRING ANNUAL AWARDS RECITAL, MAY 18th, 3:00 PM, RANCHO RESORT BALLROOM - This is the culmination of our full year of work.  It is our chance to show you in performance how really wonderfully we have advanced.   The students and I plan and work at this presentation more than anything else we do all year and it is a huge disappointment to the students and to their teacher when the student misses this event.  This is why it is a COMPULSORY Event.

 

Recital participants are required to dress in their Sunday best clothes.  If the student feels good about their appearance then it will make the performance even more special.  There were complaints about shoes with wheels on our very expensive ballroom floor last year.  It took a lot of repair work to remove the streaks and I got a pass but this year they will charge me for any damage to the floor.   PLEASE, NO WHEELS!  This means all participants and all guests, thank you.

 

I encourage any refreshments you would like to share with us at the recital; however, it is not a requirement and I do not want anyone missing or tardy because of refreshments.

 

PARENT, TEACHER, STUDENT CONFERENCES – I have decided that I need to take some quality time with my students and their parents.  As you know I am always trying to work on ways to better my teaching and I want the students and their families to understand what we are trying to achieve at lessons. 

 

Here’s my plan.  The week after recital is the best time to sit down with both parents (if possible) and literally plan the whole year of 2008-2009.  We can set goals, plan what activities we will participate in and types of music we will study for the summer.   We can discuss practice time, progress made this year and expectations for next year.   We can discuss the summer lessons and plan the make ups for vacation absences.  Those families with more than one child taking piano can discuss all the students during the same conference.  All students being discussed must attend that conference because the student needs to be involved in the discussions.
