PARENTS INFO: THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE TO CLASS DAY, SINCE NOT ALL CHILDREN CAN MAKE THE CHANGE TO THURSDAY. MAYBE WE'LL RECONSIDER NEXT SEPTEMBER.
THIS WEEK -GROUP 1: 3:45 arrival please - START promptly at 4pm
We will begin the class with reading in our method book. All students need to be very good at Twinkle by now- we use it for bow exercises, so need to keep playing it for a while yet.
Be prepared to play Long Long Ago through first line. PRIZES GIVEN TO THOSE WHO EXCEL! Have practice charts ready for checking.
GROUP 2 please arrive no earlier than 3:30,Thankyou for being very quiet and respectful when you entered last week We START promptly at 3:45 and SHOULD END at 5:30! SORRY! I kept you in late last week- My mistake!!! Thankyou for being so polite about this, though.
PS Although some are still struggling a bit with bow grip, our younger class is almost ready to move ahead with string cycle, the D scale,and then Twinkle. The goal is to have both groups playing in harmony together by the year end concert.
OCTOBER PLANS
- This week, October 4, Marion Adams will meet with each parent to finalize all paperwork. Please be prepared to provide any missing info., insurance information, and as yet unpaid fees or rental funds.
Andrea Currie Jefferson (aka "Andrea"- or "Ms Currie" for students ) will be spending a few minutes at 4:45 to discuss with parents of new members, various topics of interest and importance,eg. how to help your child succeed, expectations and visions for the program,etc.. If you have any questions, it may be the time to ask them! We will keep the session to 15 minutes, however, and then get on with the class.
OCTOBER 11 and 18 CLASSES- A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY
Andrea is away for the next two weeks SO....
SO for the next two classes, Oct 11 and 18 we have arranged for another Music professional to keep up the momentum for both groups. Susan Naccache is a professional cellist with a very similar vision for children's music. She is currently actively working towards opening a similar school in Mississauga, and is very happy to have the opportunity to work with our children.
Ambitious teachers always welcome the opportunity to offer a variety of experiences for their students. SO Susan is going to perform some of the songs we will be learning, as well as some other repertoire this is a bonus, not to be missed! Make sure you are present at both classes,and on time. Marion and our student volunteer will also be in attendance to look after all other aspects of the class.
