Upcoming Events in March and April

 Hello, Piano Families!

I have a couple absences coming up that I need to alert you about. Some of them won’t affect you, depending on when your child has a lesson.
Spring break is coming up from March 17-21. I don’t teach at all that week. Happy spring break to everyone!
My family will be out of town the Thursday and Friday before spring break (March 13-14). Rather than trying to make up all those lessons, I will be discounting March tuition to account for that absence. If you are a Thursday or Friday student, you will pay $60 (for the 30 minute students) or $75 (for the 45 minute students) for March.
Additionally, my mom is getting a knee replacement and I am going to California to help her during the first weekend in April. Unfortunately, this means I will miss another Thursday and Friday (April 3-4). Because it’s so close to Area Achievement, I will offer three makeup times to any students who don’t want to miss that lesson on Saturday March 29 all day or April 1-2 from 6:00-8:00 pm. For those who are okay to forego that lesson, I will discount April tuition as well (same amounts as March).
I have 11 students who I know for sure are participating in Area Achievement. If your child still wants to participate, please let me know in the next two days. All levels are welcome.
Here is more information for those participating:
Southwest Chapter Area Achievement Days will be on Saturday, April 12. Students will perform two memorized pieces for an adjudicator between 8-noon @ Western Wyoming Community College, rooms 1002&1003. Parents can sit in on the performance if the student prefers to have them there (though the rooms are too small to accommodate more than a couple visitors). Your child’s ten minute slot will be assigned a week before. There will be an Honors Concert by judge’s invitation at 2:00 pm- Sweetwater Music Keys 2724 Commercial Way. The cost to participate is $15 per student. Please include this in your March or April tuition.
Last but not least, just a reminder that our recital is Monday, May 19 at 7 pm at Sweetwater Music Keys. If students want to play a song outside of their method books, they need to bring in their sheet music no later than their first lesson in April.
Thanks so much, everyone! I know that was a lot. March and April are going to fly by and the end of the year will be here before we know it!
Sincerely,
Katie Davies

2025-2026 Studio Annoucements

  Hello, Piano and Voice Students! I recently accepted a job offer to teach music half time at Sage elementary school, in addition to conducting two community choirs through BOCES. These employment changes will affect my studio schedule in the fall. I am going to take August off to prepare for my job at Sage, and then I will continue my studio at a reduced size starting in September.  For students who wish to continue with me for the 2025-2026 school year, I will teach the following hours: Mondays: 4:00 - 6:00 pm Wednesdays: 4:00 - 6:00 pm Fridays: 8:30 - 10:30 am and 2:00-4:00 pm Please review my studio policies  here  on my new website. They have remained mostly the same as last year, though I did add more about my expectations for practice since my lesson spots are a lot more limited this year.  If you wish to continue lessons starting in September, please fill out  this google form  and indicate your first and second choice for lesson time. I will ...

Friday students, just a heads up. As a half time employee at Sage, there are some teacher work day Fridays I have to attend throughout the year. I’m taking care of several of these in August and June, but there will be a handful of times during the school year when I’ll need to be at work on Friday. I’m waiting on my principal for those exact dates. In...
