A Special Valentine's Day class!
This week students will have TWO guest teachers with a lifetime of experience in the "Music Bizz", Mr. Len Odynski, and his wife Clara- you can call them Mr.and Mrs. O!
Ms Currie will miss you, out of town for the week, but has enlisted my very good friend to teach the classes instead. Our guests. plays violin and viola, and have played and taught professionally in Toronto, Canada and Vienna, Austria, to name just two. Together they had a wonderful Music School inToronto before moving to Brampton to play in our Symphony with us.
Clara and Len are also a Granparents of two young Stratford boys, one who plays violin and the other cello, along with their hockey and other sports activities.
We know you'll enjoy their love of music and children, their great sense of fun and kind nature!
Feel free to ask them lots of questions about their very interesting life experiences in music.They might even perform a little for you as well!
Please check out You-tube for interesting performances by World Class orchestras: Toronto Symphony and Vienna Philharmonic are two of the best.
watch for their bows moving together, and their excellent positions.

3 practise sessions per week is not very much, but it helps you to have more fun playing your instrument! Better still, aim for 5, 6, or 7 times ! Bring your chart to class every week with AT LEAST 3 practice days recorded!
Have a wonderful Valentine's Week!
