Anyway, I can't believe we're so close to beginning another school year. June, the washout that it was, has made it seem that we're in the middle of summer instead of the beginning of school season. I have tried to make use of the summer the best I can - with some success, yet - and I hope your summer has been what you needed.
There are big changes coming to our program this year. The biggest change is that we will be adding a teacher. Her name is Jennifer Venutolo, another local many of you might know already. I asked her for a bio/blurb, and here it is.
JenniferVenutolo has been teaching string instruments for 16 years. Her primary instrument is violin and she plays professionally at various engagements throughout the year. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree from DePauw University in Music and Business, and a Master’s Degree in Music Education from VanderCook College of Music. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter and puppy dog.
Jennifer will be taking on the new beginners, while I will be carrying on with the veterans. (Hah! "Veterans." Yet some have been playing for a long time, now.) We will have Euphony Ensemble - that's their official moniker now - Monday through Thursday from 7:30 to 8:15. Friday is their day to please themselves. I will also be doing some lessons on Mondays at 4:00, and we will continue to make time for instruments to be in use with less insisting from me, at 5:00 - 6:00. I think of that time as time our kids can come learn to practice, do some practicing, or just make instrument sounds.
Beginners will meet with Jennifer on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 - 8:15.
A bigger program means more space. The beginners will continue to meet in the music room we have been using. Euphony will be in the space between the cafeteria upstairs and the old sanctuary. It's a good space, and it will feel normal in no time.
Watch this space.
Really.
More info shortly.
