Keyboards and Carols

Eleven grand pianos, one organ, 150 voice choir, what more do you need to start the Christmas season?!?!  I will be occupying one piano along with several of my friends.  The event is free but you must have a ticket to enter.  Free tickets can be obtained at Olive Baptist Church, Lifeway, and Dollarhide’s. The presentation will be at Olive Baptist Church, 1836 E. Olive Road.

December Lessons

There is no recital for December this year. 

December lessons end Thursday, December 13th. To make up lessons, Monday and Tuesday students (school-aged and adult)  will have make-up lessons on Monday, December 17 and Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Regular Lessons resume the week of January 7, 2013. Thursday students should plan to make up their lesson Thursday, January 3, 2013.  You will need to confirm make-up lesson time with me by December 13.  If you do not, I will assume you are not coming, and your make up lesson will be forfieted. Tuition is still due the first lesson of January!

Carnegie Hall

Thought that might get your attention! I will be offering a new program in my studio starting January 2013 called The Achievement Program. (TAP) The Carnegie Hall Royal Conservatory Achievement Program provides a national standard of musical success through an effectively sequenced course of study from beginner to advanced levels.  This program is for everyone and it inspires excellence through individual student assessments and allows students to understand progress in relation to others across the country.  It is with great pleasure that I have begun the groundwork to make this program a reality for the Pensacola area by being accepted as a Center Representative for the program.  Information is available for parents and students on the TAP website at: www.theachievementprogram.org

The program is available to all students but only those taking 45 minute or hour lessons will be able to participate because of the intensity of the program.  This program is better organized and structured than the Piano Guild, which I will no longer be a part of.
