Friends, I know many are wondering if/when we'll reopen for private lessons, recitals, studio classes, and rehearsals. I'm always doing my best to keep students and families updated on my plans, and making sure that what we do in the meantime always matches our mission at ASA, to...
"Build community through making great music together."
It's my goal to make sure we don't miss the mark on that mission, no matter the circumstances.
PRACTICE-ATHON
Things sure do look different during this season, but we're achieving our mission! One thing I'm truly excited about is our very first Practice-athon. This will allow students to exercise leadership and use their music to support others doing great work in our community. I cannot express how excited I am to do this with my students. It is difficult for any musician to find ways to feel like they can make a difference with their music right now... and this makes all of those unseen moments of perseverance count!
OTHER THOUGHTS
If you'd like to see some of the nitty-gritty of my thinking regarding the actual logistics of reopening, here's a document I update from time to time with my thinking on reopening. Note: it's a working document, not something meant to be polished.
