Happy New Year! January Announcements

Dear Parents and Students,

Happy New Year! I trust this letter finds you all warm and rested and ready to tackle the new year.

The next big event for us is our annual Musicthon Fundraiser.

Students should be preparing and memorizing their selection that they wish to perform for this worthy event.

Please find  the Musicthon Sponsor Letter and Pledge Form in the email that I sent to you.

It is important to reach out to friends and family to give them the opportunity to participate with you in raising monies for Broward County Music Teachers Association and 4Kids of South Florida.

Many of our studio students took advantage of the Summer Music Camp Scholarships offered by BCMTA this past year.

If you are unable to participate this year, I ask you to please consider making a generous donation. BCMTA is a 501(c)3 non profit organization.

Students in the Conservatory Track should be practicing diligently, preparing for their March 18-19 Student Day Performance Exams, as well as their May 26-29 Guild Auditions.

Our end of year Spring Recital will be held sometime in May or the first weekend in June. It is TBA, until I can learn of the various senior’s graduation dates :-). Would you believe we have 5 graduating seniors!

That is it for now, please see the attached updated Studio Calendar and the two Musicthon documents.

Musically yours,

Mrs. Purchase
