April News and Student Day Performance Plans

Dear Parents and Students,

I hope this finds you continuing to feel well and adjusting to the confines of sheltering in place. 

It is such a joy for me to be able to see your sweet faces each week at our regularly scheduled time and gives me renewed hope that this COVID situation isn't all hopeless and life can and does go on. I am so proud of all of you and your enthusiastic participation in these online lessons. 

Please read through to the end and take note of important info and calendar changes.

Our Spring break was scheduled for April 12. However, I am moving the Spring Break week up to April 6-9. (NEXT WEEK NO LESSONS!) Also, I have not used two of the extra weeks that were built into the calendar. Just a heads up; our daughter, Tori, is due to give birth to her first child on April 27. Depending upon when and how the delivery goes, I may be taking off one of those two weeks around that time with short notice.

1. Lessons will continue online until we are given an all clear on the virus threat declaration by the authorities

2. April tuition will be due at the first lesson of the month of April. My mailing address is 720 NE 12 Ave, Pompano Beach, Fl 33060.

3. The FSMTA Student Day Performance Exam has not been cancelled! It is postponed until (see number 1 above). Levels 7, 10 and 12 will do an online audition the weekend of April 24.

4. We will schedule Guild Auditions for Memorial Day Weekend, per usual. I doubt they will be cancelled, perhaps postponed, but not cancelled.

5. Our end of year recital may be pushed back into June, but that is fine! This will keep students engaged and practicing.

We have several health professionals and first responders among our studio families for whom I know we are all so grateful for their selfless service at this challenging time.Please join me in remembering them in your thoughts and prayers throughout this health event.

My love always,

Mrs. Purchase
