Memo for January 26, 2015 - Semester 2, Week 1 Dear PMA Parent or Student, This is the beginning of Semester 2 at PMA. We have an exciting new practice project - please read about it below. These winter days will be brighter as we anticipate spring and prepare for our concert at the end of February. We hope that you will join one of the parent education seminars beginning at the end of February. They will be informative and supportive of you as Suzuki parents. Please come. Have a great week! Semester 2 and a New Project Today is the beginning of our second semester and the start of our new project, Growing Our Garden. We will be documenting completion of our practice assignments by following the growth of spring flowers over the the next few months. As we progress through Feb. and March, those who finish their practicing for a whole week will get a paper flower bulb to put on our garden chart. As the months go by, you will receive leaves and flowers to add to your bulbs. You can start practicing this week and the the garden charts will be up at all PMA locations next week. Upcoming Faculty Performances Our piano faculty member Jack Kurutz is a member of the Living Room Chamber Music Project, which performs concerts at various locations around the city. This weekend they have three performances with flutist David Graham. Check out more information on their website, lrcmp.org. (Remember that you cant use links directly from Constant Contact.)
