Back to school season was a whirlwind at the Academy, and we appreciate our wonderful students adapting to masks and plexiglass so seamlessly! Term one is well underway, and we are happy to have our students and teachers taking advantage of both in-person and online lessons.
We are currently accepting new students; our lessons run year-round, and we have no registration deadline as all of our lessons are 1-on-1. Lessons are available in piano, violin/fiddle, voice, guitar, drums/percussion, woodwinds/brass, and music theory. Beginners can try their first eight lessons for $160, and all ages are welcome. Please view our COVID- specific protocols HERE.
Christmas Recitals
Looking ahead, we are currently planning for our beloved Christmas recitals to move online to Zoom this year! Here’s what you need to know:
Our sign-up binder will be at the front desk Tuesday, November 17th onwards; students may only sign up for recitals held on their regular lesson day for the first week the binder is out, and then all days are fair game after that point. For distance students, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to sign up for a recital day/time.
Recital times:
- Tuesday, December 15: 4:30pm, 6:00pm, 7:30pm
- Wednesday, December 16: 4:30pm, 6:00pm, 7:30pm
- Thursday, December 17: 4:30pm. 6:00pm, 7:30pm
- Friday, December 18: 4:30pm, 6:00pm
- Saturday, December 19: 11:00am, 1:00pm
- Monday, December 21: 4:30pm, 6:00pm, 7:30pm
Recitals will be on zoom this term, and it is a good idea for families to download the app (on a phone, tablet, or computer) and play with it a bit in advance to be sure they understand how it works. We will be asking students to enable original sound in the app to improve the sound quality of their performance, and this will be easier if they have looked at how to do so in advance. We will include instructions in the confirmation email we send out in December, and there is more information here as well: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115003279466-Enabling-option-to-preserve-original-sound.
We will email students the zoom link to their recital at the beginning of December so everyone has ample time to forward it to family members and friends!
