Greetings,

Wow, it's been a busy time here at the school. In October, we had our first workshop, Bring-a-Friend Week, our Halloween Howl, AND we were featured on the front page of the Fairfield Sun newspaper!

Check out the newspaper article and some awesome photos from our October events below.

Looking ahead, we're excited about our Faculty Recital coming up on this Sunday and our Holiday Recital on Friday, December 20th.

Also included in this newsletter edition:

- A great article on practicing

- And local music events

 

Enjoy!
