January 10, 2025: Friday Medley!
Happy Friday!
(With an aura of sadness for all that is happening to our neighbors to the north…)
Our hearts long for a calming of the firestorms that continue to devastate Los Angeles and other nearby California counties. We hope and pray that everyone here is safe and healthy. I know many of us have family and friends who are experiencing this closeup. Some have had to go up there to help their families. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help in some way.
Tonight, students are performing at Chamber Music OC in Lake Forest for our first Themed Recital, “Sets of Music.” Let’s wish them all fine performances and a joyful experience!
Other Recitals Coming Up
We have quite a few recital opportunities coming up! Remember, recitals are one of the best ways to enjoy the music students are learning. Making music with other musicians and for a friendly audience offers many personal rewards and satisfactions, and encourages students to prepare, plan, and practice! Regular performances in welcoming environments promote confidence and help children, youth, and adult students learn to command the stage.
Studio Recital
Our next studio recital set is coming just before Easter on April 14 and 15, 2025, Monday and Tuesday afternoons and evenings. Sign-up opportunities will be coming soon.
Themed Recital #2
“Songs of the Irish and Springtime”
Start learning an Irish song or springtime-related composition in January!
Friday, March 14, 2025, evening (a few days before St. Patrick’s Day!)
CPT Represents!

Destination Recital
Our first destination recital will be a day trip on Saturday, May 10, 2025, to Poway in San Diego County. We will be performing at the beautiful Temple Adat Shalom on Saturday, May 10, 2025. at 1:00pm. Our trip will include a visit to the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad. We will be sending more information and an opportunity to sign up very soon.
Have a magical Friday, a musical weekend,
and a safe, healthy, and more calm coming week.
