June lessons - more schedule information

It's easier for me to keep all the information about lessons, group classes, and the library performance in one location at this point, so please refer to www.thestringbeans.blogspot.com from now on.

The weekly schedule is here: http://thestringbeans.blogspot.com/p/schedule.html

Thanks!

Thursday's Performance

On Thursday, we will be playing the songs on the list below.  Please note the following instructions:

  • Bring your violin to the sanctuary on Thursday morning and leave your case open with your shoulder rest on and your bow tightened.  I will tune your violin for you.  When it's time for you to play, you can get your violin from it's case and bring it to the front of the sanctuary.
  • If you're a tall person, please stand near the wall.  If you're a short person, please stand near the front of the group. 
  • When you're not playing, your violin needs to be in rest position
  • If it's a song you know, you'll join the group for that song. 
  • If it's a song you don't know, you'll sit down for that song. 
  • If you're sharing a violin with a sibling, please decide for yourselves who will be playing which song(s), and make sure you're standing next to each other on Thursday so that you can hand the violin to your sibling at the appropriate time. 
SONG LIST:
  1. Cuckoo
  2. Lightly Row
  3. Song of the Wind
  4. Go Tell Aunt Rhody
  5. Mayo Morrins
  6. Glenorchy Grizzle

Thank you for all your hard work this semester!  It's been a joy to make music with you.  :)

If you are interested in having a month of free lessons in June to make up for missed time throughout the year, please contact me so I can put you on the schedule.    You can find all the information you need in the previous blog post.  I have not yet heard from the parents of: Ariel/Austin, Makell/Jaden, Zachary, or Sam about this.  Please let me know if you're going to be doing this or not, so I can stop pestering you!   Thank you!  :)

Apologies!

I thought I had been posting updates here, but now realized I had just "saved" the posts without publishing them!  Oh, dear.  I apologize!

First of all though, please allow me to offer you some free extra violin time.  I feel as though I owe all of the MGA students some extra violin time because I've been out with sick kids a few times, and on vacation for a few weeks.  This all adds up to you not getting what you signed up for, and I'd like to make that right.  If you are interested in some one-on-one violin time for your kiddo, please contact me so we can arrange it.  We can do a private lesson at my house, at MGA sometime (if a time works out), via Skype (this is not ideal but a possibility), or possibly at your house.   There is no charge or obligation for this - I just want to make up for missed violin time, and there are many, many students who I think would benefit from a situation where we could focus on individual issues in a non-group setting.

My email (preferred): christineauger@gmail.com
My phone number: 817-879-0569

My teaching studio is in Watauga.
