End of Spring semester - May 28th, 2009

It has been quite a year!!

To start with I would like to congratulate all of you on such a wonderful concert @ Park School. It is quite an achievement for so many students of such a young age to pull together the level of music that you worked on. I was thrilled with the end result, of course, but I was also delighted by the process that we went through together of practicing & rehearsing & gradually seeing the pieces come together.

Well done to those of you that made it to the concert @ the Meyerhoff. Having the opportunity to see where you will be if you continue playing your instruments is pretty exciting. I sat @ the very front so that I was close to the performers & although I may be slightly biased (?) I can happily report that my students have the best sitting position!! I saw many incorrectly placed feet! I was very impressed with the level of music-making that I heard. Some truly great music...

So looking to the future...
* to those of you who are auditioning/have auditioned for the CS, I wish you the very best as you continue your music-making.
* to those of you returning to me in the fall - YIPPEE!! I am already planning the music that we will be learning... anyone for a fugue again??
* I will send out an email by the end of August telling you which group you are placed in - please don't ask before then...

Last, but not least, thanks to all of the families for your support, snacks (esp chocolate..) & bringing your children to their weekly rehearsals. None of this would be possible without your help.

I hope that you all have wonderful summers, but don't forget to practice your instruments & note-reading. (Couldn't resist telling you to practice)...

In Gratitude,
Louise :)
