Congratulations to all students and their families! The Concert May 22 was a great success. WHY ? Because we all know the hard work and dedication it takes to progress and gain confidence playing a violin or cello! We truly made nusic together! .
IF you work diligently, consistently and carefully, it truly pays off. I think every parent and student now realizes that- although it takes effort, the rewards are great! Your child has the chance to do something truly unique. But, more than that- they gain all kinds of benefits in non-musical ways as well.
Class and Concert PHOTOS:
Please share your best 2 or 3 photos via e-mail. I'd like to put them on the blog as well as possibly use them for promotion, etc.

Next week Tuesday June 26, we will have a year-end pizza-pool party for children and parent/guardian at Ms. Currie's home We will meet at the Towers Party Room at 4 pm and make our way to 40 Lilly Cr . If you can drive this is fine- we will ensure everyone has a ride before leaving.
If children wish to swim, their parent must supervise them.
HEADS UP!
We may be playing a concert at Shoppers World Mall August 11. This would be much the same as our May 22 concert so keep all your scales and songs in good shape !! If you review them most days, you'll be fine. More info will be sent to your e-mail once we know more.
Also EVERYONE needs to work ahead in the book to # 75 for September.
SUMMER:
Instruments: The instruments are yours till September, but MUST
be properly cared for . Never expose them to direct sun , heat or high humidity. They are crafted of wood - therefore require protection .YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DUE TO CARELESS HANDLING.
You have have rented them for a full year, so you can
continue to play and practise through the summer. If you are interested in catching up or continuing lessons over the summer, good idea. The most important and ESSENTIAL thing is to work in the
All for Strings Book up to #75 by September- that is, learn to read the music..
I will be in and out of town in July and August, so if for any reason you wish to contact me please leave a message on the home phone. OR we can chat in June.
Let's wish
Madhav and his family a wonderful new life in Edmonton! Madhav, keep on playing with such joy, and strength- it has been a great pleasure to teach you!
This marks the official end of the first FULL YEAR of operation for Music at the Towers . You are "Charter Members"- no-one else will ever be able to join that club! Thankyou for making the choice to give your child the rich gift of String music playing! .
