Thank you for all you do, parents and students, to make this
a wonderful studio! I really appreciate
and look forward to seeing your smiling faces, how much growth has happened
during your daily practicing sessions, and your overall enthusiasm for violin/viola!
Here are a few friendly reminders.

The deadline to register for the Parents’ Convention and ISSI is April 1. I will send out a
separate email about ISSI. If you have any questions about the Parent/Teacher
Convention, or have been meaning to register and just haven’t yet, now is the
time. It is a day for Parents (no
students allowed, babies are always adored) to learn more about music and how
to help their child be the best musician and person. Everyone involved in the
Suzuki movement wants this to be a positive experience for you.

Several of you have already signed up for summer lessons. If you have not signed
up please keep in mind the deadline is May
1. If you have any questions about the online registration or summer
lessons please let me know. I expect all students to take lessons in the summer. Summer is not a time to take a break from a
string instrument. In fact, if you take
more than a few weeks off from playing you will be starting all over again. I’m
sure you’ve noticed your child’s muscle memory and note recognition suffers
when they have a few days without practice. Imagine what a whole summer will
do.

Scheduling.
Thank you for checking the online schedule and being aware what weeks we do and
don’t have private lessons. With scheduling this year it was much easier in the
fall, where all schools have the same major holidays, than the spring. I do my
best to consider all my student’s schedules (balancing more than 4 different
school districts, 3 counties, and several private schools). I added two
additional lessons to the schedule to cover any illness and absences that were
not in the studio schedule and because I want my students to have every
opportunity to succeed. I recognize the importance of regular lessons and know
some parents have expressed interest in more lessons. I have decided to offer
extra lessons Tuesday, April 3rd at the reduced rate of $15 per
30-minutes. If you are interested please contact me. I may also be able to
offer extra lessons the week of April
22-28 so please let me know if you are interested.
