C. Astolfi musicianship!


Dear Music School families –
I’m just returning to work after a week-long hospital stay.  It’s my understanding that you were not notified of my absence.  This information should have been on the blog and didn’t get there due to a miscommunication.  I/we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
In the beginning of the year, I wrote a letter which I distributed (and have attached) indicating that I would be teaching on 5/25.  I do plan to do that.  The schedule will be the adjusted schedule in case anyone has their regular group class make-up.  The fact that I would be holding this class (with an adjusted schedule) was included on the SA blog post again on February 27.  We still have class on June 8 and I will have to review the schedule more thoroughly to find a make-up day for last Saturday.  I will be prepared to address this on 5/25.
I hope that I will see you this Saturday.  Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Cheri
GROUP MAKE-UP DAY ON SATURDAY, 5/25
Largo (Vivaldi) Musicianship Class                       9:45am-10:30am
Grave (Bach & Haydn) Musicianship Class           10:45am-11:30am
