Studio Recital Watch Party
What a wonderful "second best" way to have the recital! I so enjoyed seeing all the videos as well as the different ways families settled in to watch the movie produced by Mr. Aston Byrum. Thank you, Mr. Byrum!! To my students: you were wonderful! Congratulations everyone!! YouTube video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thT-hPX_zD0
To my seniors -- thank you so much for the video ending the night's program. Emily Williams - you and I have been together for 12 years yet you still managed to surprise me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Covid-19
Last week I opened my email to find a letter from the Executive Director and CEO of the National Music Teachers Association's stating MTNA's guidelines on re-opening studios to in-person teaching. As NAMTA president, it is my duty to disperse the legal and general information to the members of NAMTA and to encourage the local teacher members to follow said guidelines. I must admit both Mr. Pullin and I had been going back and forth trying to decide on the best course of action for opening the Studio to summer events. Then today's news: newspaper headlines note the United States has lost 100,000 people to the Covid-19 virus. Requiescat in pace.
My decisions for the summer have been based on the MTNA recommendations, Mr. Pullin's suggestions and my concern for doing what is best for the health and general well being of my students. If I err, I want to err on the side of caution.
Summer Study:
Studio Cookout:
The Studio wide cookout has been cancelled. I am so sorry. We would have had about 70 people attending; there is no way to have that number of participants and still remain safe.
I will have a celebration for the three seniors and their families on June 13th at the Studio so we can have one last moment before Henry, Zack and Emily head on to their college years. Even if I can't allow hugs yet.
2020-2021 Studio Registrations
Registration forms are posted on there. Forms and fees are due June 15th (may be turned in at the Studio cookout.)
Dates to Remember
eSaturday, June 13: Senior Celebration at Mrs. Pullin's house (only the three families).
Monday, August 24: Fall Semester Starts

Summer Study:
- Open only for Elementary students during the month of June. There will be no lessons during July.
- Students may have 30 minute in-person lessons OR on-line
- In-person lessons will follow the below protocols:
- In-person lessons will be spaced so there will be a 15 minute break between lessons.
- Only one student (and one parent if necessary) will be allowed to attend any given lesson.
- Piano keys and bench will be sanitized between lessons.
- Students must wear a mask.
- Students must clean their hands with sanitizer upon arrival.
- Students will not be allowed to attend an in-person lesson if they are not feeling well or show symptoms of the virus including coughing and/or sneezing (even if we both think it is allergies).
- Depending on circumstances, I hope to open the Studio in August for Secondary students to have one planning session lesson before the semester starts.
