A very big welcome back to Pardalis Music Studio’s students. I am so excited to see you this week and begin another musical year together! I had a wonderful, refreshing summer with several opportunities for professional development since June and can’t wait to share and use all the new ideas I gained!

FIRST WEEK OF LESSONS–WHAT TO BRING!

Our first week of lessons begins on September 8th! To the email I sent out, I have attached a policy letter and a calendar of the year with special dates like holiday closures, masterclasses and recitals on it. You can print it off and place it on your fridge if you like to keep track of all the dates! There will be a limited number printed and available in studio for those of you who do not have access to a printer. NOTE: the date for the Christmas Recital is still waiting to be officially confirmed–if there are any changes at all to the calendar a new one will be emailed out. So, as we prepare for next week, just a couple of things to remember to bring:

LESSON TUITION

Post Dated Cheques from September to June

Cash Payment Plans upon my discretion (please note no receipts will be available for cash payments)

Pre-authorized credit card payments

Bring a 1” Binder for your homework assignments

FACEBOOK UPDATE
We are at 215 “Likes” now At 250 Likes there will be a draw for prizes. If you haven’t already done so, head on over and check out our facebook page which features videos of students, blog posts from my webpage and few fun things including Wednesday Words of Wisdom! Then like it and invite friends and relatives to like as well for a chance to be in the draw for prizes! Thank you to all of you who have liked the page already!

BLOG
You can also find my blog with great ideas for working that infamous practice time into your schedule, choosing an instrument as well as regular newsletters (so if you can’t find an emailed newsletter, you can always find a copy there. You can also subscribe to the blog and have it automatically delivered to your email each time a new post is created. Find it at: https://nataliappardalis.wordpress.com/

New Master Class

All students involved with recitals will be required to attend a performance class. We will be having several throughout the year.

Master Class will cost $10 per child. The master class will take place once twice a semester and will included performance technique, etiquette, style, artistic practices, and musicianship. It will take place on Saturday mornings, please see calendar and keep in mind.

Glee Club

As you know, this popular program has grown and outgrown my home studio. We will be using a space at St Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church (13181 96 Ave.). It is literally down the street from me so will be easy to get to. I encourage all my students to join, not just vocal students.

Junior Glee (6 -12 years ) Mondays 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm

(parents must stay for the rehearsals)

Senior Glees (13 -18 years) Mondays 5:45pm to 7:00 pm

No audition necessary for Pardalis Music Studio’s private students.

Price: First child $30, 2^nd and so on $15.

Enjoy this week! It kind of feels a little like New Years in some ways! See you all next week!
