Monthly Letter
June 2025
Dear Parents and Students:
The summer piano session is here! Please see the summer brochure in the "Piano Programs" section of the website if you are interested in a lesson or two. It's not too late to sign up! Remember, students can choose pop music, games, composition, or any combination of special activities during the summer session. Thinking about doing the theory exam next year? Summer is a great time to start on the workbook.
Taking a break from lessons in the summer? That’s okay! We all need a break sometimes. But try to keep playing pieces so your fingers keep exercised. Use your 30-piece challenge list and check off each piece as you play it.
Do you have any pictures from the May recital? I would love to have some more pictures for the website. Feel free to email them to me if you would like to share!
Individual confirmation of lesson time and invoice (if applicable) for the 2025-2026 piano year will be sent in a separate e-mail soon. Please review the information when you receive it. A number of families have indicated that they may need to change the reserved lesson time once they receive school schedules. I will do my best to try and find a suitable time for everyone.
A reminder that for those students on the full tuition and 2-Installment plans, the first (or only) installment is due by July 31st if it has not already paid. Students on the 9-installment plan shall have their first installment due at the first lesson in September. If you have changed your mind about the tuition plan you have chosen, just drop me an e-mail and I’ll adjust my records.
Regular private lessons will begin on Monday, September 8th. The annual calendar will be sent later this summer. Dates for the Musicale and Recital will be confirmed in the fall.
The Lesson Exchange List will be sent prior to the first lesson of the year and will only be distributed to piano students, so your information will remain within our piano group. While all music that I assign in lessons is included in the tuition, if students are interested in any particular pieces to study in addition to the regular music, I encourage you to look at the following website www.sheetmusicplus.com/?aff_id=314390. If you see something you might like to order and would like to know if it is the appropriate level for your student, please feel free to contact me.
A reminder that correspondence, invoices and calendars regarding piano during the school year will arrive via e-mail. And be sure to refer to the website you need any current information about piano. You may need to refresh your browser to see updated information.
Sincerely yours,
Lori McCarthy
