Monthly Letter

Dear Parents and Students:

Welcome back current students and a warm welcome to new students! Regular private lessons begin Thursday, September 10th. A good way to prepare for the start of the piano year is by working on the 30-Piece Review Challenge that was part of the summer packet give to all students. While students all have a this form in their binder from last year (if applicable), I have attached a copy here that you can print out. There is still time to play 30 review pieces! 

A Welcome Packet is attached with calendars and forms for the year. Students will be receiving a paper copy in their binders at the first lesson. All students are asked to bring all books and binders from the previous year to their first lesson. All new music will be provided and students have the option of choosing new binders at the first lesson. New students will receive all needed materials at the first lesson.

A copy of the Lesson Exchange List will be put in each student’s binder and will be emailed to each family as well. Only those students who have indicated on the registration form that they wish to be listed will be included. I am working on some scheduling changes so will be sending this document out  after the start of the piano year. Keep in mind that while you can contact me directly if you have a conflict in any given week to see if I have any cancellations, you may also contact other students on the list. To keep our information  private, I do not post this on the website but will gladly email you the list if you do not have a copy.  

For those of you with acoustic pianos, please take a moment to check your records and see how recently you have had your piano tuned. The sound that a student achieves from their instrument is such an important part of the satisfaction received in learning a piece. A piano technician will also check your piano to make sure it is in good working order. The piano technician I use is Chaz Felizpour at Pitch

I highly recommend that you schedule a tuning if you have not done so recently.

You can always check on calendars and announcements at my website www.lorimccarthypiano.com for the most up-to-date information. And feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I look forward to seeing everyone in September!

Sincerely yours,

Lori
