Hi everyone!

 

Here are some dates for this semester!

 

Nov. 24: No private lessons, but we WILL hold classes for trios on the 22nd, and private lessons on the 23rd. Happy Thanksgiving!

 

December 11th (Saturday): CHRISTMAS RECITALS! (Note the plurality! :) 

       Andante Trios (Class time is Mondays at 4:30) will be at 11:00 am.  Should only last 45 minutes.

       Allegro Trios (Class time is Mondays at 3:30) will be at Noon.  Should only last 45 minutes.

      Presto Trios (Class time is Mondays at 5:30) will be at 1:00 pm.  Should last approximately one hour.

 

ALL Recitals will be held in my basement.  No costumes, but best dress is preferred.  No extra rehearsals other than class. I would love to go back to the Middle School in the Spring.  (Depending on the pandemic).  Masking at this recital is individual preference.  Students will not sing with masks.

 

All Private students will sing at times assigned at a later date. (If you are in a Trio, you will automatically be assigned to that time.)  If you have a request, please let me know soon!

 

After the recital, classes and private study will be over! (However, there may be some need to schedule private lessons for some looking ahead to deadlines of scholarship, sterling scholar, etc. during the Christmas Break. Those will be scheduled randomly.)

 

NOTE:  December tuition for Trio's will be $20 (half price).  There is only one class plus the recital day before we dismiss for the Christmas break.

 

Classes and private study will resume on January 10th.

 

We're loving this semester!  Please continue to practice and make progress!

Questions?  Please let me know! You can email me back or text.

 

Fall 2020!

 Fall is here and I have moved into a new home and a new studio!  We are excited to start again and welcome you to a new semester!

As you all know, COVID-19 could dictate a lot of our schedules for classes and for performances for awhile.  We have kept class sizes to 8 or less and will be cautious and clean!  Please don't come to class or private study if you feel sick.  I would appreciate you letting me know of any absence!

I have emailed all of you with the tentative schedule for private study and the solid schedule for three Trio classes.  If you haven't been notified, please let me know asap!

A recital may not be allowed, but we're going to try!  I'll keep you posted! 

Welcome back!  We're praying for a good year!

Teens Class Week 1

Hi Everyone!
Below is a link for Week 1 of TaVaci Teens!  Please practice!  I'm in HOPES that we'll still be able to have a recital even if it's late in May or first of June!  I'll send a link out next Tuesday as well!  Watch for it!

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE #3

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all staying healthy and well and sane . . . I'm going a bit stir crazy here but am grateful for health.

As of today, I will still be holding private lessons ONLY.  We'll put TRIO's and TEENS on hold until further notice.  I'm sincerely hoping that we can get back to normal soon but will certainly abide government restrictions until they've been lifted. 

Please be reminded that private students lessons are flexible as well and should NOT come if they're feeling ill.  I will also notify you if health status changes in any way with me.  After each student leaves, I vigilantly spray down and disinfect the studio.  Private lessons also may negotiate different times if needed and/or wanted.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me!  Keep singing during this time!  Voices get out of shape pretty quickly so take advantage of this time to progress!  I'm happy to make any suggestions via online if you'd like some help.  Thanks for uniting with me and our government in keeping ourselves healthy and safe.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE #2!

Due to the following updated guidelines from President Trump, I have decided to cancel TAVACI TEENS for the next two weeks.  At least. 

"Avoid social gatherings in groups of more than 10 people."

We are also advised to have personal space and I can't say that we have much of that in my studio with Teens!  So (FOR NOW!), we will continue only with TaVaci TRIO's and private lessons.  Again, if you feel a need to cancel for private lessons due to illness (AT ALL!  No questions asked!), please just let me know.  Trio's too!

As of today, I plan to start up Teens after Spring Break.  I'll keep you posted!  Stay safe and wash your hands!

CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK! Important information

I'm sure many of you are wondering about whether we will continue having Teens, Trios and private lessons and the answer is YES!  I will continue with my regular studio schedule for now.  I also need to tell you that we will take this one day at a time but any changes will be posted HERE so please check back daily.
As of today, I do not see a threat to our community that merits a shut down of my studio.  HOWEVER, if your child is ill in any way, please do not send them.  I will have plenty of hand sanitizers available and will lysol spray down the studio, but the best thing we can do is avoid any contact with each other if we are coughing, sneezing, have fevers or sore throats etc.  I'd appreciate an email or text if your student will not be attending class or private lessons prior to their designated time.
Additionally, our recital is scheduled for April 30th.  I sincerely hope that we can still go ahead with it.  However, if the school is not in session by then, we will either reschedule or cancel.  The learning that has and will continue to happen is valuable whether we put it on the stage or not! I'm sure loving teaching this semester!  Thank you for allowing me to have these great humans in my life!
