Hello Everyone,
Many thanks to all the participating teachers in Achievement Day.
Another success, and this year seemed unusually relaxed and under control.
Special thanks to all the teachers who contributed valuable time even though they did not have participating students.
Right away we have another event,
Duet and Ensemble Recital, March 13 at Ann Bunyan's home.
Don't forget to E-mail me your student's names, selections, and composers for the program.
Our March program will be very entertaining and informative.
