Hello all and Happy Summer!!!!

Thank you for a wonderful recital season!! It was a huge success and every student played splendidly! What a long strange trip its been, and we will continue to rock you in the upcoming years!

A few items of note:

• Beach week will be the week of July 18. Grab your beach wear and get ready to jam!

• Back-to-School Blues will be the week before Labor Day. Parents will rejoice and the kids will have the blues!

• Piano & Guitar Institute, both locations, will be closed the week of July 4, 2011. Thus no lessons that week. As well, we will be closed Monday of Labor Day Weekend. No one was charged for these lessons so there is no need to try to reschedule.

• Finally, as the cost of doing business continues to rise, we will be doing a tuition increase which will begin with your September Tuition. We haven't raised rates in nearly 3 years! Alfred Tuition will go to $95, Premiere Pianist Tuition will go to $85. Advanced Tuition will go to $122 per month.

• As always, our referral policy is one free lesson for every student that enrolls from you!!! Therefore, help us spread the word! Tell your friends that we have a fantastic promotion running the week we are closed. (4 FREE lessons for new students and 1 FREE lessons for you!!!!) All they have to do is log on to the website and register for 1 of the orientations we will have the week of July 18.

• We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe summer!
