May 2026 Newsletter
Spring recitals at the Lawrence Arts Center, summer lesson information, and fall scheduling details for the 2026-2027 school year.
Greetings!
May Recitals
2nd Practice Recitals: The 2nd practice recitals will be at the Lawrence Arts Center. These practice recitals will be in the Lower Lobby. We will send a reminder email with your 2nd practice recital date and time. 2nd practice recitals will be held May 4-7.
Spring Recitals: The Spring Recitals are scheduled for May 18th-May 21st in the main theater at the Lawrence Arts Center. These recitals are free and open to the public. Friends and family are encouraged to attend.
We will be using the Lawrence Arts Center live streaming for anyone not able to attend the recital in person. We will send instructions on how to gain access the week before the recitals take place.
We will be having a reception following this year’s recitals. The reception will be held in the Lower Lobby immediately following the Spring Recital.
Summer Lessons: Begin June 1st
During the summer months we only teach private lessons. Students can take as many or as few lessons as they would like. Since we bill by the lesson you will only be charged for the lessons you receive. We will also be offering our week-long beginning piano workshops for small groups in June. Please refer to the Summer and Fall enrollment email for further details on how to sign-up, or let me know if you would like me to resend it.
Fall Lessons
We will resume our school year lessons the week of August 23rd, offering both private and group lessons. We will continue to offer online lessons as well.
Students not playing in the Spring Recital
Any students not playing in a recital the week of May 18th will have a lesson that week instead. Your teacher may need to reschedule your lesson that week if they have a conflict with a scheduled recital.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
