Thanks to everyone who came out to last night’s studio concert. Great job students!

End of the teaching year brings cards and gifts (thanks kidlets!) I’m not quite sure what was intended here though…
Year End Studio Recitals
There were too many students for just one recital this year, so we had two. Thanks to everyone who came out on Mother’s Day and played! Those who couldn’t: we missed you, but next time.
Flowers, Throw up
I had my first studio throw-up last week with a student. As a long-time bad-with-motion traveller, I’m pretty impervious to vomit; none got on the piano so it really wasn’t a problem.
This week the student was excited to bring me flowers and a card. I feel great.
Erin’s Students: Year End Recital
Monday May 30th, 7:00-8:00, Wood Hall in the Victoria Conservatory of Music. 30 awesome performers from the age of 3.5 through 17 have been working hard all year and get to show it. I’m excited, students, as I’m sure you are too! Admission is free, but come early for a seat and to find parking (street parking only!)
Studio Mini Concerts
With a lot of students in the festival and exams this year I’ve decided to host a few Sunday mini-recitals. These give students the oppertunity to try out their pieces in performance and deadlines to work towards. The room is small, so performances spots are limited. If you’re interested ask me about signing you up!
First concert:
February 6th, Sunday, 2:00-3:00 in room 302, Victoria Conservatory of Music
January 2011
Back in school and at the piano after a Christmas on North Pender (check out the awesome view from the cabin!) This year my fiction workshop is lead by Matthew Hooton, and I’m curious what he’ll have to say about writing–I saw him earlier last year give a reading from his recent novel at the AGPH. Matthew’s taking the workshop is a surprise, as Lorna Jackson was slated to head it. I’m sad to miss Lorna though, since it was one of her courses that made me decided to swing my degree from the writing of music to the writing of words.
Another new thing this year: students in the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival! As a student I played in the Terrace Music Festival every year, and it’s fun to be on the other side of it all now.
This term is going to fly by.
