Dear Pupil/Parent,

I trust you are having an amazing 6 weeks with all the extreme weather we've been experiencing.  

Thanks again to all those who participated in the summer concert back in July; you all worked very hard and performed brilliantly. The feedback too was amazing and so very encouraging; I hope we can at least match or indeed exceed audience expectations at the next installment at Christmastime. Thanks you so very much. 

Lessons resume promptly week beginning Monday 3rd September and your previously held lesson slot/s will apply this term unless you hear from me or you've requested otherwise. These are based on Medway Schools' Term Dates.

There are 14 teaching weeks this autumn and I will shortly be sending out invoices in this regard. These are based on Medway Schools Term Dates however this term is a little odd as I will have to be away on /Mummy Duty/ from 5th to 18th November. Therefore I will be teaching during the half-term break. If you are going to be away during the halfterm I am happy to make up this lesson at a later date or beforehand.

This coming term, emphasis will be on Practical & Theory Exam Syllabuses, Music for Halloween initially then a more festive repertory will prevail in preparation for the Christmas Concert. Those wishing to be entered into the examination program will need to purchase the Syllabus piano pieces or graded theory workbooks shortly after we have begun term. I will confirm with individuals then.

Please make note of the following dates which can also be found on your calendars when you log in at www.ivoryhut.co.uk:  
I am away: 5th-18th November
Christmas concert: w/ending Sunday 22nd December (to be confirmed)
Christmas break: w/commencing Monday  24/12 (2 weeks)
New Year term starts: w/c Thursday 3rd January 2019
Halfterm: Lessons will continue on as usual (w/commencing Monday 22nd October)

Please contact me should you have any problems logging in online.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.



Kind regards,  
Alan
