It’s performance time for Audrey

Being a self employed musician and educator means that I fill my time with a variety of music related endeavors. Since I have a performance to prepare on November 3, there will be no lessons the week prior. This gives me the time needed to prepare between the multiple rehearsals leading up to the concert.

The concert I am preparing is FALL POPS by North Sky Chorale, a choir directed by my partner and husband, Richard. I will be playing piano and singing at this concert. Please come to check out what we do – it will be a program filled with songs about changing seasons.

Knox United Church, Saskatoon, SK
3:00 pm

North Sky Chorale
Performance in Knox United Church, Saskatoon.
Performance from May 2023

Great start to lessons this year!

September Sunrise in Saskatchewan

How wonderful has it been to meet you all these last two weeks as we begin our weekly lessons! It’s been a great start! I’ve been able to schedule my lessons to fit into two full days each week. This year I have one day in Rosthern and one in Bellevue. The rest of the week is taken up with administrating online pedagogy courses for the Royal Conservatory of Music and preparing for North Sky Chorale‘s next concert in November (and also preserving the last of our garden produce. It’s been a good summer!)

September Sunrise in Saskatchewan
A beautiful morning looking toward the South Saskatchewan River from Rosthern.

Of particular note – I’m so happy that the drive to Bellevue has been vastly improved with the repairs to Highway 312 to Gabriel’s Bridge! The drive has always been beautiful, now it is most enjoyable! (see the picture attached to this entry. A beautiful sunrise over the 312 looking towards the South Saskatchewan River!)

I have a number of students that are new to me, and I look forward to getting to know each one of you better. My studio this year spans ages from K to retired!

Be ready for information about a fall recital as we get closer to Christmas. My students and audience enjoyed last year’s recital so much, I hope to hold another one. Our great start to lessons signal a great year to come!

Time to Schedule Lessons

Happy August! It’s time to schedule lessons for the coming year. I’ve started to put together a teaching schedule in Rosthern and Bellevue. Thank you to all who have already secured their spot for the 24-25 teaching year. I’m in the process of reaching out to those who have previously indicated an interest to confirm with them.

New students: now is the time to contact me and arrange lessons!

Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the beautiful summer weather and get outside as often as possible. Our back deck is a wonderful spot to enjoy while I mark the Royal Conservatory of Music online pedagogy courses that I help administer.

Also, don’t forget to apply for Creative Kids funding before August 16!
