Autumn Term 2023 Newsletter
Hi everybody,
Welcome to our Autumn Term Newsletter, with Christmas fast approaching we are now looking ahead to the upcoming Spring term. First we would like to say that our annual Christmas video competition is progressing well, it is so nice to see so much enthusiasm from the students this year and we can't wait to see the videos you all produce. Here is a page with all the details, https://melodymakers.mymusicstaff.com/Virtual-Christmas-Concert-Competition-2023
We have several students taking exams this term and we would like to wish everyone the best of luck. However it has not just been the students, Gosia has recently started learning her third in taken her Claranet exam this term and has passed with a distinction, ‘well done Gosia’.
Our other teachers have also been a busy bunch this term.
Steve is off to do a RSL (Rockschool) teacher training course on the 1st of December, this is something that will benefit all of our students going forward. Having more exam boards will give our students more choice.
Claire has also been busy and she has completed her training, and we are now happy to announce that we are a Stave House Licensee. Stave house are specialist in music education system aimed for young people and children with SEN, if your interested in more information About - Stave House
Emily is also very busy outside of teaching, serving as Assistant musical Director on production of Mother Goose (MP3 productions, St John’s Church, High Path, SW19, 26th -28th January 2024), we have been involved with this production company for many years. Their events are always really good fun and a brilliant feel good factor for the cold winter months, you will probably see Steve and Claire there! Tickets go on sale 2nd December, tinyurl.com/mp3panto.
Now for a few small admin details. This term we are making a small change to the invoicing system. Previously you would receive your invoice attached to the latest copy of our termly newsletter. This term the invoice and the newsletter will be sent separately. This will allow us to batch send the invoices and instead of doing over 100 separate emails. So please be aware that your invoice for next term will be a separate email.
If you have unused makeup credits now is the time to book them, as we have just opened all the free slots on the system for next term, so there are spaces until 28th March.
We would like to take this chance to wish everybody a Merry Christamas and a Happy New Year.
Love and Music
Claire, Steve, Gosia, Emily, and Tiago
