May News

Hello everyone! We’re nearing the end of our 2018 Spring Semester here at NSMA, and while I’m looking forward to a lighter schedule during the summer months, it is always sad to see one year end and say goodbye! We’ve got a busy three weeks to finish out the semester, please note important dates listed below.

Construction: We have now started construction on our new studio facility!! All students, parents and guardians – please be very careful when arriving to and leaving from lessons. No small children should be walking up/down the driveway without an adult present with them at all times. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the construction process.

Piano Update: My piano was structurally compromised due to the cold, dry weather in February and I have had to send it up to Anchorage to be rebuilt. I have procured a high quality electric piano for us to use in the mean time. The piano will be rebuilt and kept in Anchorage until the new studio facility is done, at which point we will ship it back and move it into the new location.

Spring Recital: Our final recital this school year is our annual Spring Recital, which will be held Sunday 5/20 at 3:00pm at Aldersgate Church. All students performing should be now registered for the recital, the $10.00 recital participation fee will be added to your May invoice. Please contact me ASAP with any questions.

YES to Lessons: We DO have lessons on Saturday 5/5 (Cinco de Mayo). We also DO have lessons on Sunday 5/13 (Mother’s Day). PLEASE put this on your calendar as it is Sunday students’ final lesson before the recital and the final lesson of the semester!!
