Happy Spring! You know the ‘ole saying, March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion! I sure hope so! I could use some sun and warmth, you too?
This gets me thinking about our students. Some come to us with musical knowledge already, but many come with none. It is our goal to have them be like March. When they move on from Classic Studios, our hope is that they have musical confidence, much like a lion!
Also we have we have attached the Covid-19 update (effective March 8th, 2021) to group performance activities. Please check it out in the newsletter below.
So as spring blossoms, we hope your child’s musical abilities will as well. Below there is information about the ARMTA competition. What a great way to bolster your child’s confidence and add some pizazz to their life. Check it out! We are also getting students ready for the Sherwood Park Music Festival. Masterclass will deal with how to get ready for performances and how to deal with nerves. We will also play Musical “Sports” themed jeopardy. See you there!
Cheers,
Jan
These are from when we used to have concerts at the seniors homes. Such a blast!
My daughter is a busy high school student.
She has a job, lots of school work, and a crazy social life.
Yet she loves coming to Jan’s lessons once a week,
never complains, and always, always comes out of them happy with great stories to share. His positive energy and casual,
fun, and eclectic personality has kept her interest in music
far longer than I would have imagined!
We appreciate Jan for more than just his piano expertise
(which is pretty amazing I might add!) but also for being a highly regarded role model in her life!
Thanks Jan!
