Dear Students and Parents:
We are all back in the piano groove and it is exciting to begin another school year.
We look forward to seeing the students mature in their piano studies.
DUET RECITAL:
As mentioned in our spring newsletter, we are having an all-duet recital on
Saturday, October 24 at 4 PM.
We also ask that you bring finger foods so that we can have a reception afterwards
that includes a light dinner potluck. Let’s make this a fun, special afternoon/evening
for the students.
Duet recitals are lots of fun for the students. It also teaches many important
concepts, such as accurate rhythm, balance of melody and accompaniment,
capturing the intent of the composer and working together as a team to produce it,
and so much more.
We will need cooperation of parents to help get the teams together as we get closer
to the date.
