Cello Newsletter Term 2, 2010
Cello newsletter term 2 no 2, 27 May 2010
Dear Students and families,
Term 2 is rushing by at a breath taking speed. I’m getting over a cold today and using the time to catch up on my neglected correspondence with you all!
Firstly I would like to remind you all that the enrolments for the Suzuki Winter Workshop are closing now. I’ve attached the information should you need it.
This term is very busy for the school-aged students as they are almost all enrolled in the Performing Arts competitions. I’ve arranged a few occasions for them to practise their pieces in front of an audience, which is part of the preparation needed to be ready for the performing arts event on 3 and 4 July. These are the dates:
- 19 June, Saturday: 4-6pm first practice concert for students and parents at Fieke Noteboom’s venue, 547 Welcome Bay Road. Bring a plate to share for after the concert.
- 27 June, Sunday: 1.30pm Greenwood Park retirement village, cnr. Welcome Bay & Ohauiti Rds.
Hector Fitzsimons is having his book 1 graduation concert at 6.15 on Thursday 3 June at Wesley Church Lounge.
Vicki Reid will have her Book 2 graduation soon – to be held at Oaklands retirement home , the date and time to be announced.
I’ve also arranged a separate get-together for my adult students during Flavia’s book 2 graduation for some socialising and ensemble playing:
- Sunday morning, 20 June at 10.30, bring a plate to share for lunch. 625 Otamarakau Valley Rd, RD6 Te Puke. About 6kms down Otamarakau (turnoff on the Whakatane highway) where the gravel starts on the left. A long driveway about 1km, last house on top of hill.Tel: 5333252.
For all my students there is the end-of-term concert:
- 30 June, Wednesday: 5.30 for 6.00pm Wesley Church. Bring a plate.
Another date I would like to bring to your attention is Sunday 20 June 3.00pm, when the Cellophonics group (Waikato cello students) is performing at the Tauranga Art Gallery in Willow Street. Entry by Gold coin I believe…. This event is “not to be missed” if possible!
This is all for the moment! Have a lovely weekend!
