I have a sign up sheet in my studio for students under 18 who wish to participate in NFMC Junior Festival in Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, April 4. Levels may range from pre-primary (early note reading) to advanced. Sign-ups are for my purposes in assigning performance pieces. Students will need to perform two pieces from memory and must own an original copy of their music (no photocopies allowed). There is an entrance fee to participate. Performances will be in a non-competitive recital setting. Judges will award up to five points, and students who earn enough points over the next few years will be awarded a trophy.

Week of April 13: Group lessons replace all private lessons for this week. This set of group lessons will be performance classes for students only. We will do practice recitals, with tips from me and compliments from each other. This will help us prepare for the recital and give all students some valuable performance experience. They are meant to be very low pressure performances, so I ask that parents wait outside or come back at the end,unless your child has anxiety without you here. Sign up for a class in my studio. Volunteer to bring a snack to share if you'd like.
Saturday students please see me if you need to schedule a private lesson on the 18th as well, to help prepare for the recital next week.
Monday April 20 through Friday April 24: Regular lessons as scheduled
*** Saturday, April 25th is our Spring Recital, with two recital times: 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. Please sign up for a recital time in my studio.***
I ask all students to bring something to contribute to the refreshments for after the recital. Desserts are most popular and are appreciated, and other kinds of refreshments (fruit, veggies, homemade snacks or treats, etc) are also appreciated. If you're unable to bring a refreshment, no worries! Please come enjoy the performances anyway.
The recitals will be held at the church building on 23800 Washington, just outside my neighborhood. Enter on the side of the building that faces Nutmeg. Drop off refreshments in the kitchen on your way in.
