Also music from Smetna, Handel and Beethoven.  Hope to see you all there!

We are looking forward to our winter solo recitals.  Sign up on the events page

Lisa Hollis will be starting Kindermusic Classes in January.  Please contact Lisa for more information.

We had a great time in Estes Park for our annual Holiday concert.  We performed at the YMCA of the Rockies Hyde Chapel. It was a snowy, cold day, but it was a beautiful scene for our concert.  We played Jingle Bells, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Silent Night and Drummer Boy.

The youngest students made drums to play for Drummer boy.  Definitely a impressive Drum line!

This year we tried something new and sang a French Christmas carol -- Il Le Ne. 

On Monday we stopped by Cinnamon Park Assisted Living and played our Holiday Tunes.  The room was warm and cozy and the audience was very friendly.  Their favorite piece was "Wintertime in Russia".  We had a fun time playing and hope to be invited to play again soon!

Happy Halloween! We enjoyed a casual concert before heading out to Trick-or-Treat.  The kids all came in their costumes, violins in hand. A spooky Halloween story and a few silly tunes and they were ready to hit the streets for candy! Thank you parents for coming out to be a part of the concert!

One of our students put on a fun show for us.  Tanner Played Hunter's Chorus while hula-hooping!  Thank you Tanner -- we were all impressed

A big Thank You! to Longmont Orthodontics for the goody bags.  The kids put those halloween toothbrushes to good use this evening . . . I hope!

Monday, October 17th marked the anniversary of Dr. Suzuki's birthday. Born on October 17, 1898, he spent the better part of his nearly century-long life helping the world to realize the amazing potential that is poised waiting to be unleashed in every human being. Here is a link to the SAA site detailing his life and work with children.

This year Halloween falls on a Monday so we will be having a Halloween concert in lieu of group classes.  This should be a lot of fun.  The kids have been working on a few halloween pieces and a dance!  Come enjoy the concert at 4:30 at Long's Peak United Methodist Church.  Wear your costume!

Yeah!  We had a great concert today!  The Students played beautifully.  So far we have raised $7,153 for Operation Smile.  If you have any other donations be sure to bring them in by Friday to be included in our totals.
If you have any pictures and would like to share them send them to your teacher.  Our photographer Katherine will be sending us her shots.  We will keep you posted on those as well.  Also, don't forget to order your DVD from High Plains Video.  If you need an order form please ask you teacher for one.
Thank you to all the parents that worked so hard to make this a great day.  The recpetion was beautiful and we even had popcorn for our movie concert!
Thank you everyone for a great concert!

It's that time of year!  We have begun our push towards our annual benefit concert!  This year we have chosen Operation Smile and we will try to raise $2,400 for 10 surgeries!  Each student has received a Press Kit.  If you need additional copies please feel free to ask your teacher for more . . . or you can can go to the Operation Smile tab and print from there.  We are so excited this year to be playing a few fun Movie tunes. 
Invite your friends and families . . . it will be fun!
