tuition, perf class, and next semester

A Happy Halloween morning to you!  And Happy Reformation Day to my fellow Reformed friends! :)  AND Happy World Series to everyone!!!  Woo-hoooo!!!!  Don't know about you, but I was on a high from that all. weekend. long.  It was awesome.  Pretty sure I needed a time-out last night because I was crabby from so much excitement haha.

A couple of things to start your week:  Just a friendly reminder that tuition is due in lesson this week for November.  Amazing to me that we're getting close to the end already.  We'll start discussing recital rep within the next couple of weeks as we head into the final stretch.  A reminder that we will NOT have lessons the week of Thanksgiving, except for make-ups.  And we will officially be done with the semester after the recital is over Sunday, Dec 11.  We will NOT have lessons the week after the recital either, except for make-ups.  I've been keeping track of make-ups so if you have doubts about that, let me know and I can give you an update.

Also a reminder that performance class is NEXT Saturday, November 12 at 10:30 at the Steinway Gallery.  We'll pick pieces for class this week or next week in lesson.  Some of the pieces we start picking for the final 2-3 performance classes will probably also be recital pieces eventually.  You can encourage your students to think back over the last two and a half months and decide which pieces have been their favorites / best efforts to start preparing for recital.

I'm hoping to have worked out next semester's schedule soon.  I should just go ahead and put a deadline of next Monday on it so that I don't squirrel around anymore... but hey, we won the World Series, right?  Gotta take time to enjoy that.  Anyway I will try to get next semester's schedule out to you by next Monday so that we can all start lining up dates and have a framework in mind.  There's a lot going on next semester which I will tell you about when I send out the schedule.  Get ready for big fun though :)

I think that's it for now.  Have a safe and happy Halloween!  See you in lesson!
