Welcome to the 2023-24 Music Lesson Year!
This year we’ll have regular weekly lessons (except holidays) September through April. Lessons from May – August are optional. (Those of you with very busy months may take off during May due to the many conflicts we have seen with state testing.)
Planned Schedule
March 3: MAPTA auditions (in person and video with selected pieces from a list)
April: Recital (play your favorite piece) in person in Houston with out-of-state participants on video.
August: Video Festival (choose any pieces you like)
The calendar below doesn’t include most of my adult students. But from this, you can see the openings and time slots.
