The Musical Express

We’ve wrapped up a great set of studio rehearsals! Fabulous job, Music Makers! 😃🙌🏽🎉🎶

Just remember these 3 important things while you’re waiting on recital day:
1 - Get your rest! 😴
2 - Don’t practice excessively or overpractice! You’ve already put in the hard work. 🛑
3 - Visualize success! It’s ok to feel nervous. Take a deep breath and remember you play piano because you love it. This is just a time to share with your family and friends. 🎹

See you at theater rehearsal tomorrow! Drop-ins are between 4:00-8:00pm.

Recital week has begun and everyone had a great first day of studio rehearsals! Drop-in today or tomorrow if you missed Monday’s session. All students are required to attend Friday’s theater rehearsal at the Columbia County Library’s JABEZ Performing Arts Theater.

**Rehearsal Week Schedule:**
- Studio Rehearsal #2: Tuesday (6/3), 3:00-6:30PM
- Studio Rehearsal #3: Wednesday (6/4), 3:00-6:30PM
- Theater Rehearsal: Friday (6/6), 4:00-8:00PM

Notes:
- Remember for all drop-in rehearsals students will play on a first-come, first-play basis.
- Your student’s recital showcase day was assigned a couple of weeks ago. So, if you're unsure about which recital your student is performing in, please reach out to your teacher.

Here’s to an amazing week of music-making and celebration! 🎉 🎉🎶🎹✨🎼🤗

Congratulations to our students who participated in the 2025 AMTA PIANO FESTIVAL!! 🎉🎶 We are incredibly proud of you all!! Your dedication and hard work in your piano studies truly inspire us. 🎹💫
