Beginning students have a 45 minute lesson weekly;
more advanced students have an hour lesson weekly. Each student
is assigned to a theory group that meets approximately once every
four weeks on Mondays from 4:15-5:15. At the same time slot,
a studio “play-in” is held in my home approximately
every five weeks. Formal recitals are held for all my students
January 15th (2:00 pm) and January 22 (6:45 pm) at the Thomas Center. An “end-of-the-year”
pool party for
parents and children (to receive awards earned during the year)
is held at my home May 29th. My students participate in the Florida
Federation of Music Clubs Festival both at the district (February
4-5 at the University of Florida, Music Building) and state levels
(May 5-6 at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville,
Florida). Every student enters the solo category; and after appropriate
progress, ensembles and concertos are added. Student Day (March
18th at the University of Florida Music Building) which is sponsored
by Florida State Music Teachers’ Organization, is a thorough
audition wherein students perform two to four pieces, depending
on their level, demonstrate technical skills, and take both aural
and written theory tests. |
