Instrument Sale
I have acquired quite a collection of instruments that I no longer use. Some are new, most have been used. If you would be interested in having some for your family or church, the prices are pretty reasonable. Let me know your interests! There will likely be more as time goes by.
Piano Groups
There will be no lessons or make-ups during Thanksgiving Week.
I've been running piano groups on 12-week sessions, and that works great for the Level 1 and 2 groups. However, once we begin to practice, taking several weeks off causes some issues. Kids get out of the practice habit and lose a bit of content, so it takes us about a month of lessons to get back to where we left off when we stopped. That's both a waste of time and money. I'd like this to be more efficient.
Starting in January, I'd like to run the Level 3 and Level 4 (Early Elementary) groups by the month. We will take a week off here and there, but that means we'll go through most of April and every other week in the summer (no lessons in August). I really care about the progress your kiddos are making, and I'm not getting the kinds of results I'm used to with the 12-week schedule.
Please let me know your thoughts about that.
Looking Ahead . . . Balance, Coordination, Ease
January 11 is the start of Winter Session for all students.
I would love to start a Balance, Coordination Ease class on Saturdays at 10:30 in January. Spread the word.
Announcing the Balance tIMe program that combines Alexander Technique with timing training.
Both have been shown to improve balance, and with improved timing comes a faster reaction speed, so thinking speeds up!
Sessions will be 20 minutes long in the studio. Cost is $25 per session with discount packages available.
