March 28, 2025: Friday Medley
Happy Friday!
Congratulations to piano student Andrii Orlov! Teacher Miss Esther noted that he performed music from memory worth 10 prize tickets this past week!
Remember, prize tickets can be redeemed for actual prizes at a monthly Forum (see below for more information about Forums coming up).
Make-up Music Lessons Q&A
Q. Can we request a make-up music lesson in advance?
A. Yes! If you have a planned absence or absences, you can request one or more make-up music lessons in advance. Make-up music lessons never expire, so you can also make up one or more music lessons when you return from the absence.
The best way to request a make-up music lesson is to use this link and complete the form online:

Small group and masterclass-style music lessons provide unlimited make-up music lesson possibilities, plus, are valuable learning experiences for music students and aspiring musicians.
Studio Spring Recital - Just around the Corner, in April!
Our next studio recital set (Spring Quarter) is coming just before Easter on April 14 and 15, 2025, Monday and Tuesday afternoons and evenings.
Teacher Mr. Denny is looking forward to presenting a special performance at each of the recitals over these two days. He is going to perform the entire Presto! It’s Piano Magic, Book 1, from memory, at the piano. And he will sing many of the songs, too! His performance may be an inspiration to many students!
