Happy November! The Fall Quarter has zipped by - on top of lessons, we've already had our first Performance Class where everyone performed a piece, and 2 Master Class/Lesson opportunities. Students have all been practicing and making amazing progress! Here are some upcoming events for the last couple months of 2025.
1. Saturday, November 8 @ 3:30pm: Autumn Recital @ Sunbreak Church - see website for more details. Free and open to the public.
2. Tuesday, Nov. 11, 1-2pm: 2nd Group Performance Class for all students! Since this is Veterans Day/No School day, our class will be earlier in the day. Secret Piano Pal (aka annual Composition project) will be introduced. This is time of year to get the creative juices flowing - I love to see what amazing songs these students create!
3. Sunday, Nov. 16 @ 1:15pm: CONCERTO RECITAL! Concertos are a big project in the fall that students have been diligently working on. They are sounding AMAZING! This recital is a chance to hear all of our students at one time - at the competition, they will be in different divisions throughout the day. Feel free to bring a snack to share, invite family and friends, and enjoy an hour of beautiful concerto repertoire.
4. Saturday, Nov. 22, all day @ Gospel Outreach Church: OMTA Concerto Competition. Students in Elementary, Intermediate A & B, and Advanced A & B will perform in separate divisions throughout the day. Best wishes to our wonderful students! Free and open to the public.
5. No Lessons Thanksgiving Week - Happy Thanksgiving!
6. Saturday, Dec. 6 @ Barnes & Noble: Annual Holiday Play-a-thon! Keep in mind that this event is just a week after Thanksgiving, so make sure to budget your practice time!
It's been a great first quarter with these delightful young pianists!
