It’s time start preparing for the Charlotte Piano Teacher’s Forum and Federation Festivals! My students will all be receiving information  in the next week or two I and hope to have great participation this year. Most of the festivals are fun and non-competitive and a great way to improve your skill on your instrument and measure your progress year to year. There are many different events to choose from, so there is something for everyone.

I am starting a new Facebook group where I am inviting both friends and music professionals to keep in touch. Join now by clicking on this link! Make sure you are logged into Facebook first.

Congratulations to each student who participated in this spring’s flute and piano recital. For many of you this was your first recital and you all did a great job! If you attended or played in the recital and would like a photo of one of the performers, contact me and I will email you a copy.

Congratulations to Madelyn Combs for receiving a superior rating in the Hymn Playing Festival!

My music studio’s practice marathon to help support the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra is completed and I would like to congratulate Cecelia Laughlin for collecting the most pledges, and Elise Nance for the most amount of time practiced during the week. Great job!

Volunteer Opportunities:

Volunteer to help the Charlotte Piano Teacher’s Forum with the Concerto Auditions or the Solo Auditions and receive lots of volunteer hours for school and the satisfaction of helping the music community.  Let me know if you would like to volunteer or have any questions about what it involves.
