Welcome Back


Our first day back to lessons will be Saturday January 6.  Please contact me if you need to confirm your child's lesson day and time.  The attached calendar is a comprehensive listing of important dates for this semester including Music Olympics set for February 15 and our recitals will be held at Dow Rummel May 12 and 13.  I currently have openings for students Wednesdays after 7:30, Thursday at 5pm, and Saturday afternoons.

All Boy Recital: The Sioux Falls Area Music Teachers Association will be holding their annual All Boy Recital Sunday February 25 at St. Therese Catholic Church.  This would be a great opportunity for boys to perform their festival pieces for an audience and showcase their musicality.  The cost is $5, please let me know by January 26 if you would like your son to participate.

Piano Festival:  As a member of the Sioux Falls Area Music Teachers Association, my students have the opportunity to participate in the annual piano festival.  Students perform 2 pieces from memory and receive a certificate and comment sheet.  Students receive trophies for 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10 years of participation in the piano festival.  This year's piano festival will be held at Augustana University March 17, 2018.  Please reply to this email and let me know if you would like for your child to participate in piano festival and I will have some repertoire choices ready the first week.  Also remember to include the $15 registration fee (non-refundable) along with the first tuition payment.
