December Update: Calendar, scheduling, recital, room change ...

There is a lot happening over the next couple of months. I want to do the best I can to keep you informed so we can all be prepared. Below you will find calendar information, recital information, and some important changes that will happen after the first of the year. Please review and respond as necessary ... and as always let me know if you have any questions. 

Music Theory Study Hall:
  • Dec 21, 4:00-5:00 pm / Rm 9. Please send me an email or text if your child will be attending. This is mainly for my certificate of merit students to help them prepare for evaluations. However, if your child is working in the music theory workbook and they would like to attend they are welcome. The cost is $25 per study hall.
Holiday Break: 
  • The studio will be closed from Dec 22 through Jan 1. There will be no lessons those days. Normal schedules will resume Jan 2.
Room Location:
  • Beginning in January I will be teaching from room 9 (right next to my current room). This is also where my music theory, rehearsals and group makeup lessons will be held.
Missed Lessons / Group Makeup Lessons:
  • Also beginning the first of the year I will be managing my own schedule, makeup lessons, etc. If you will be missing lessons, please contact me directly by text or email to let me know. When I am teaching I am transitioning from lesson to lesson quickly and I may forget; so sending me a quick text or email notice helps me out a lot. Also, I will be scheduling and conducting my own group makeup lessons monthly beginning in January. I will be posting makeup schedule on my website and also sending them out in my regular email communications. The first group makeup of the year is Jan 4 from 2:30-3:30 pm in room 9. Billing will remain with the office; but all my scheduling will go through me personally.
Recital:
  • The recital is Feb 9, 1:00 pm / Cal State San Marcos. Tickets are on sale now at US Music Lessons front office for $10. Please contact the office to purchase tickets. Performers attend for free.
  • Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like your child to play with piano accompaniment for the recital. The cost is $30. This fee includes a run through with the pianist the morning of the recital and the recital accompaniment.
  • I will be asking all my recital performers to dress up in black and/or white. Any combination of those colors will be fine. 
  • If your child is playing in an ensemble, I have assigned the groups, passed out all the music, and scheduled the rehearsals. This information is also posted on my website should you need to refer to the schedule.
Thank you for reading my email. I know there are a lot of details to consider. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful Holiday break and Happy New Year if I don't see you before then.

With Joy,

Ms. Jill
