Multi-Cultural Event, and Lessons Day

Okay, when I said "no make-up date" for Lessons Day I meant in case of a student's forgetting to bring materials s/he needed for performing.  As we were snowed out instead, I hope to reschedule Lessons Day.

Meanwhile, the Multi-Cultural Event celebrating South American cultures is coming right up, this Saturday!  Entertainment is to begin at about 6 p.m. in the main (largest) room.  Around 7 p.m., I will take the stage and ask for any students who want to perform "Flor de Cactus"--the song from Peru I've been teaching in regular music classes--to come forward, and they'll sing it with a recorded accompaniment.

Lessons Day

On Lessons Day, students who take music lessons are invited to perform a piece for their classmates during their regular music class. This is an opportunity for some students to show skills they have gained by practicing regularly, and for all students to practice good audience skills. In fact, the class demonstrating the best audience skills will have their name put on a trophy, which will be displayed in the music studio!

Kindergarten, Second Grade and Third Grade will have their Lessons Day during regular music class on Wednesday, January 18th. First Grade and Fourth Grade will have it on Thursday, January 19th.
