We have had one more exam result come in; an 85% on a Grade 1 exam. This is an excellent mark that is above the national average. The comments from the examiner praised the students style and artistry as well as her fine technical skill. Once again I am so proud of this student’s ability to go in and bravely seize the moment with her musicality and composure.
We finished of the year with another fun recital. Once again we had singing, dancing, and even a special guest who played some vintage Ragtime for us in the form of the Carolina Shout. Some courageous volunteers kicked off the party by learning and demonstrating how to do the waltz, which is a dance/rhythm we study frequently when learning the piano. Again we asked for a small donation of $5 per non performer, and we raised $130.00 for the Land o Lakes Rescue and Petting Farm in Cloyne Ontario! They thanked us with this message:
“Thank you Lauren and all her students & parents for donating to Land O’Lakes Rescue Farm. We have used your money yesterday to purchase hay. You have made a difference and we wanted you to know how much we appreciate your contributions. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Barry and Donna with our Children and these Wonderful Animals.”
Hope everyone is having a magical summer, and see you in September!
