Teacher Kendall's Music Studio

FYI, the Summer sign-up sheets are on the website as of 5/8/08 (upper right hand corner - PDF file). I'll post changes every week if there are any - you can sign up for summer lessons at your lesson or via email (I'll let you know if the times you request are available).

To sign-up for openings in the summer schedule, email me or talk to me at your lesson. Remember, the times are first-come, first-served!

I will be teaching Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays for the beginning of summer term, and Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays for the end of summer term. The first time slot available on these days is 12:30 pm, and the last available is 6:00 pm.

Week 1: June 30, July 1 & 3 (Monday, Tuesday & Thursday)
Week 2:July 7, 8 & 10 (Monday, Tuesday & Thursday)
Week 3: July 14 & 15 (Monday & Tuesday)
Week 4: July 24 (Thursday)

Kate Adams has been practicing her jaw rest... I think she looks great!

Sorry about the delay in the last newsletter. I finally found the setting on the website that was causing problems!

For those of you that don't know my situation, I'm still trying to convince my 4-year-old that violin is something he really wants to do. So, recognizing that I can't give him anything I don't have myself, I've been concentrating on overcoming my own long-held practice demons. As a kid I took piano for three years without much practicing, and I played trumpet for 5 years with a bit more practicing, but I'm sure nothing consistent. So now, spurred on by Teacher Kendall's infamous letter, I'm on a good solid one-month streak of daily practice in front of the kids.

Hi Everyone,

Dale pointed out to me that I had a different schedule on the studio calendar than the one I mentioned last night. I recently found out that we do have a space for our 4:30 Theory class on May 6 - room 106 in the Music Building, so that class WILL be taking place (and has been added to the calendar). So, to clarify: April 29th is a Play-in in Kilworth with no 4:30 class and May 6 is a Play-in in Schneebeck with a 4:30 class in room 106. Thanks, Dale!

If you are purchasing a violin case, this may be a big savings, as shipping oversized items usually costs extra.
(So, I took advantage of this offer and bought an inexpensive 1/32 case for Satoko's foamalin.)

Hope you all had a nice spring break. I wanted to remind everyone that April 22 is our Group Concert at 5 pm in Kilworth. Unlike other concerts, there will not be a reception afterwards, although the building is not used by another group until 7 pm so you can stick around and talk if you'd like.

Hi Suzuki Parents,

Tomorrow (Tuesday, March 25) is our Ensemble Concert in Kilworth Chapel at 5 pm. There are no group classes as a result. Please bring a snack to share (leave in the basement before the recital) - there were no sign up sheets, so please just bring a drink, snack or dessert of your choice.

There are no lessons on Thursday or Friday of next week (March 27 and 28). The whole following week is Spring Break. The Monday and Tuesday following break, there will be only group classes - no private lessons.
