Happy New Year! We have ushered in a new century and a new millenniuum.
Important information
specific to McIntyre Students:
I have made some changes to my Lesson
Schedule. This is important to those of you who may want to switch
lesson times when sports schedules shift. As you can see the schedule
is tight, so offering another time without switching is next to impossible.
The positive side is that you have more slots from which to choose compared
to last year. Full lists of students with phone numbers are going
home with students the week of January 3rd. Please look for this
roster and find a place for it for quick reference for those winter sick
days. For a reference on missed/switched lesson policy, click on:
Studio
Policies.
Details regarding competitions and piano festivals are listed directly below. More may be added to this site within two weeks. Please check back to this page for confirmations. If you just began lessons this year, you may wait until next year to participate.

The new Studio Class Schedule is revised for winter. We shall be listening to contest pieces and improving our times for the One Minute Club Contest.
Snow days may be coming. Sometimes I cancel the lesson and we credit the lesson or try to make it up. But, often the snow or ice melts by the afternoon. So, usually we'll connect on the phone if it looks bad and discuss the possibility of cancelling or postponing the lesson. I wouldn't want anyone hurt on the way to a lesson.
