Can you spot the piper?
Here are the updates for your 2013-2014 year of Violin Lessons!
Violin Lesson Parking:
As previously stated, there are two designated spots to park at my place; spot #64 and to the right of #64 which is in front of the gate to my unit. DO NOT PARK IN ANY OTHER NUMBERED OR VISITOR SPOT, even if there are many other spots available. If these spots are for some reason not available, you will have to park outside the complex on Savannah Road and walk into the complex. Thank you so much for your understanding in this matter and please tell me immediately of any parking issues.
The first lessons and group classes start Monday September 9th! Please call or e-mail me to confirm your lesson time if needed.

Suzuki Baby/Toddler Music Class:
Wednesday Mornings 9:30-10:30
Wednesday Mornings 9:30-10:30
Calling all parents, babies and toddlers! Please tell your family members and friends about this class. Not only does it develop musical skills but recent research shows that babies in this class smile more, are easier to calm, show earlier communication skills and an adaptability toward new things. Do not wait to enroll! Please provide the best education for your child from age zero.
Fall Theory Class:
Wednesday Evening 6:00-7:00 October 2nd - November 27th
This is a mixed ages class, however, you must be playing May Song or higher to enroll. We will continue to master skills such as note reading, where notes are on the violin, rhythm and note values, compositions and improvisations, key signatures, intervals and ear training. Check your calendars and let your teacher know if you are interested. Registration and fees will be given out in early September.

Fiddle Play-in:
I am in the process of developing an all ages fiddle play-in. Please let me know if you are interested. I will get this exciting event up and running as soon as I can, but want to guarantee its success. So please have patience.
Calendars:
Please check the calendar on my website regularly as well as the hard copy you were given with your registration package. Please put all the recital, parent education and group class dates into your calendars so that you don't miss out on anything throughout the year. I do expect 100% attendance to all group classes and recitals and require an explanation if you cannot make it.
***Change to Calendar***:
There will be lessons the week of Halloween, October 28th - November 2nd. There will be no lessons the first week in the new year, January 6th - 11th. I will be in Mexico that week for my brother's wedding! If your lesson falls on Halloween day it is completely up to you if you'd like to come to your lesson. If not, we will make it up sometime throughout the year.
Play Challenge:
Starting in September there will be a Play Challenge in my studio! Basically, this is similar to the 100 chart, however, all I am asking for is that everyone plays their violins everyday! I'm still working out the details, and prizes, but the goal here is to start the school year off with good habits that will carry through to the rest of the year. Stay tuned.

As always, if there are ever any questions, I am available 24/7 through e-mail and you can call me anytime between 8:00 am - 9:00 pm at home or on my cell (you're best to try my home phone first). If you're unsure about something on your practice chart, ask me! If your violin needs tuning, arrange a time with me to tune it! Need some advice on getting your child to practice? Call me up to chat or send me an e-mail explaining your situation! I am here to do whatever I can to help you get the most out of making music an important part of your family's lifestyle.
