Hello Everyone!

This upcoming week (November 20-25) is Thanksgiving Break at West County Strings.  As such, there will be NO lessons or group class – we hope you enjoy the week off and all have a chance to spend time with friends and family (but don’t forget to still find some time to practice!).

Private lessons will resume again the week of November 27, however there will be NO group classes for the remainder of the semester.  Groups will resume again in the spring semester on Tuesday, January 9.  Thank you so much to all of you who made Tuesday night groups a regular part of your schedule this fall semester.  They were truly a special experience, and we look forward to seeing you all again on Tuesdays in the spring.  To cap off the fall’s classes, we’ve (finally) uploaded our pictures from the Halloween Group Performance & Party (see below).

After break, the next big event coming up are our Fall Solo Recitals on the afternoon of Sunday, December 10.  We’ll have three recitals that afternoon – 2:30, 3:45, and 5:00 p.m.  As in recent years, this upcoming Fall Recital will be held at the KREW House of Chesterfield Presbyterian Church.  Piano rehearsals will be held at our house (1199 Fieldhurst Dr.) on Tuesday, December 5 from 4-10 p.m.  If you are in Book 4 or above, you need to sign up for a piano rehearsal (find the sign-up sheet here)!  Please consult your teacher if you have any questions about signing up.

Happy Thanksgiving!
