A message for a parent to be shared with all families

Hello, fellow parents! I'm really looking forward to this year's recital and hope you are too. In addition to being a parent of two performers, I'm also a parishioner of the Church of the Resurrection, this year's venue. I know we'll be there to listen to our children perform, but I want to respectfully ask you to remember that we won't be in "just another building." Please be courteous of each other and the house, and be mindful of the events and masses for which it’s typically used. The floor is sloped, similar to stadium seating, there's truly not a bad seat in the house.

Thanks so much, I'm looking forward to hearing all the kids play on the 22nd! Laura Bertekap

We have posted a previous blog on our educators recommendations, but wanted to provide our families with a way to explore other options. Best Digital Keyboards for Beginner's

Today was an exciting morning! Four of our students entered the music competition at the 49th annual Irish Feis held in North Haven. Competitors came from all over the state of Connecticut and areas of NY State. The music instruments featured were fiddle, tin whistle, flute and accordion as well as voice. David Caldarella, in his first ever music competition took 1st place in his category of studying less than 3 years. What's exciting is he made a last minute change this morning to play a different piece than planned. His enthusiasm paid off! Also in her first competition, Rita Sherban put alot of effort into her Reel. Look at the smile on her face! She placed first in her category of studying over three years. Bridget Ruiz entered the music feis for her second year of competition (she took 1st place in her age category last year) This year she placed 2nd, in a more advanced category, and playing two contrasting dances in the key of D Major.
