Happy Easter!

Hi Everyone! I can't believe that we are already winding down to the last two months of lessons and preparing for the year end recital. Just to recap last nights group class, here are the pieces that we will be playing at the recital:

• Suzuki's Prelude & Berceuse
• Fiddle Set
• Book 4 Vivaldi A Minor, 1st Movement
• Humoresque
• Witches Dance
• Chorus (with Duet parts)
• Book 1 Minuet 3
• Allegro
• May Song
• Song of the Wind
• Lollipop Lollipop
• Twinkle Theme

Please work these pieces into your daily routine. These are expected to be "polished" for the recital. Those still on fiddle boxes and/or just starting bread and cheese on the violin are encouraged to play along with Lollipop Lollipop and Twinkle Theme.

The dress code for this recital will be black bottoms and the red Thames Valley Suzuki School t-shirts. Shirts are $20 each. If you purchased a shirt last year, please pull them out of your closets and make sure they still fit. We have some limited sizes, but ranging from XS to L Youth and S to 2XL Adult.

I have to say that it has been a successful first week of teaching out of my new home! Please keep me informed of any parking issues, but so far things seem to be working out. 

Some exciting news to announce; I have just recently been asked to join a group called Celtic Shift which consists of both my elementary and high school music teachers playing penny whistle and piano! I am so excited to have the chance to work with these two amazing musicians and to perform my love of fiddle music on a more regular basis. I will keep you all up to date on any shows we may be doing. 

All lessons remain the same through Friday to Monday of Easter weekend unless we have arranged something else. There will be no group on Monday. Only 3 group classes remain in April so I expect 100% attendance to prepare for the recital. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend.
