I wanted to send an email with the date and time of our Christmas concert!!! We have scheduled the Hall at Nativity for DECEMBER 16th @ 7:30-8:30 Cookies and Coffee will be served. Students should arrive to tune and warm up at 7:00pm. They can report to Mr. Myers room 118 parents may make their way down to the hall to find a good seat, and be ready to be entertained!
The kids have been working hard learning how to read, count, and play their music in a very short period of time. Please continue encouraging your young musicians to practice daily. Short daily practice sessions will go a long long way in helping your student to be prepared for their weekly lessons. One day a week for a hour is nothing compared to six days of 10min sessions!!
Guitars should be working on their first four stings out of the Mel bay method 1. EBGD pages 7-14 in their books. Mr. Dair will be handing out some single sheet christmas arrangements this week.

They will be playing all three christmas songs as well but we will be adjusting the arrangement due to the difficulties in the fingers.
