MASTER CLASS THIS SATURDAY 12/7!

This Saturday, Dec. 7, from 11:45-12:45pm in the Concert Hall, Jessica Hoffman will be giving a special class on the topic of BODY AWARENESS (for the reduction of tension while playing) to the SA Camerata students.  All other SA students are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.

Fiddle Schedule Posted!

Under Calendars page

SCHEDULE CHANGE 5/21 & 5/14

THE GRADUATION DRESS REHEARSALS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. They are no longer on May 21. Instead they will be on 5/14 (same times as originally scheduled - see master group schedule for times).

Basically, WITH THE EXCEPTIONS BELOW, we are just switching the May 21st schedule with the May 14 schedule. SO - follow what is written on the schedule for 5/21 ON 5/14 and 5/14 ON 5/21.

HOWEVER, this change will NOT APPLY to Ms. Julie's AND Ms. Cheri's 9-9:45am and 9:45-10:30am classes. These classes will remain as originally scheduled (these kids are not involved in graduation anyway). ROOMS TBA

ALSO - there WILL be orchestras on 5/14 but NOT 5/21 (Julie is away on 5/21). Don't worry, if your child plays violin and is in the graduation rehearsal, he/she will be done in time to get to orchestra.

Please let Shelley know if you have any questions. (beardshelley@aol.com)

Attn Late Book 5 Violin Students!

I just wanted to give you a heads up about Book 6 (since some of you will be there soon). There are 2 non-Suzuki pieces that we have added to the Book 6 curriculum: Tempo Di Minuetto by Kreisler and Polish Dance by Severn. You'll all need to purchase the music and recordings of these 2 pieces.

For Tempo, I'd recommend purchasing the sheet music of this piece, and the CD "The Kreisler Album" by Joshua Bell. For Polish Dance, I'd recommend getting the book & CD Volume 4 from Barbara Barber's "Solos for Young Violinists" collection. You'll most likely need other pieces from this collection, so it is a worthwhile investment at this point.
