Greetings Piano People!
I posted recently that spring was just around the corner. However, today it is windy and pouring down rain. Ah, but it is Portland! Sunshine, singing birds and flowers are sure to make their appearance soon!
I want to remind you of our upcoming end of the year recital. There is a 4:30 session and 6:00 p.m. session. Students can play for either, but I prefer younger, more beginning students at the 4:30 program. As usual, invite your family and bring treats to share!
What: Piano Student Recital
When: Sunday, June 3, 2018
Session 1: 4:30 p.m.
Session 2: 6:00 p.m.
Where: Community Music Center
3350 SE Francis St, Portland, OR 97202
The end of spring term will be the week after the recital.
This summer, I will not be doing home visit piano lessons. Many of my students will be on vacation. And I have decided to spend more time with my granddaughter, Grace, who is now 7 1/2 months old!
I will be teaching group and private lessons at the Community Music Center this summer. Summer term begins June 18th.
I am also teaching Blues Camp I and II at the Community Music Center. Blues Camp I will be Mon-Fri, 6/18 through 6/22; 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Blues Camp II will be Mon-Fri, 6/25 through 6/29; 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
I will be still teaching private lessons at St. Mark's Lutheran Church on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. I will be putting together my new schedule shortly.
Finally, I am performing in the performance of Bach's Magnificat on May 19th at the Multnomah Arts Center. I will be playing the organ and accompanying the Francis Street Singers along with a small orchestra, directed by Tracey Edson. I will also be performing several short solos on a portative organ! Would love to see you there!
I also hope to see some sunshine soon!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Peace,
