All my students have had a great couple of weeks back into lessons and their new pieces! Here’s a few things coming up:
Winter Break is fast approaching for my students in “the shire” during the week of February 26 – March 1. I’m planning on teaching through the week but will instead offer morning lessons for those of you who will be in town. Let me know your plans and we’ll find a good morning time for lessons that week.
SPRING BREAK
No lessons during Spring Break this year.
MASTER CLASSES
In lieu of an end of year recital here at our house, I will be hosting two separate master classes for my students:
Cello Students: Saturday, April 13 ~ 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Piano & Voice Students: Saturday, April 20 ~ 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Each student will be preparing a piece to play/sing for feedback and further progress. They will also be learning how to play with others in duets and small ensembles. This is an event that parents may stay to listen in, but it won’t be a formal performance.
MERRIMACK VALLEY PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
As you all know, I had the opportunity to play with two of my students in the orchestra pit for Frozen, the musical at the high school. Through one of my fellow mentor musicians, I was invited to join the MVPO cello section and will be in their next concert on March 10. This is big news around our house since I haven’t had the chance to play with a symphony since we moved here nearly 9 years ago. To say I’m loving it is a huge understatement! (Even if it’s a little overwhelming — Sibelius!)
This concert will be a heavier one with selections from Grieg’s Peer Gint Suite, Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A, and Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2., but if you’d like tickets, click on the square below.
