Private music lessons for children and adults in Juneau, Alaska
November 1st, 2011
Hi everyone! Congrats to all of the students who participated in the Halloween recitals – everyone did a great job and I had a blast! Parents – I did make a video recording of both recitals, so if you’re interested in purchasing a DVD of your student’s recital, please contact me and I’ll get it set up. And now we’re on to the next  one – the Winter Holiday Recital!
Winter Holiday Recital – We will be having two recitals Sunday December 11th at 1:00pm and at 3:30pm. I have sent out a letter home with each student with the details for the recitals. Please email, call or talk to me at lessons to sign up for a recital time ASAP – remember, it’s first come first serve and I want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to participate!
Thanksgiving Break – There will be NO LESSONS held Wednesday 11/23 – Saturday 11/26. There WILL BE lessons Monday 11/21 and Tuesday 11/22 for students who regularly have lessons on those days. Please make sure to mark your calendars and have a wonderful holiday!
