Young Composers Recital, 3 pm at Fleming Arts Center, Issaquah
October 22
LWMTA Young Composers Concert:  Showcase for original compositions, with a live performance by the student and/or other musicians.   (That means you can ask a friend or your teacher to perform your piece on the concert)  Each performer will receive a souvenir recital book containing all the compositions.

What a strange and wonderful summer!  Wasn't the eclipse a remarkable event?  Hope you have all enjoyed new experiences that will translate well into music.  

Lessons begin on Monday, September 11.  Shake out your piano bag, but bring back an assignment book and the scores that you used last year (except for single sheets).  

See you soon!
​Ms S

Hi Everyone!
Fall lessons begin on Wednesday, September 7 (except for Monday students).  Make sure your assignment book and all your music is ready to go!  It won't hurt to re-start pushups and arm swings, either.  :)

New students:  please bring a blank assignment notebook and the books that you used last year.

First playing opportunity of the season:

LWMTA's Musical Gift Recital will be held on Saturday, September 24 at 1:30 pm at Overlake Terrace in Redmond, 1956 152nd Ave. NE.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend, but experienced performers will enjoy the playing opportunity!  Deadline is September 15.
