Welcome, New Year
Welcome, 2012! We are glad to be back to making music with a whole new year ahead of us. A few things to start your new year off right:
1. Rev your practicing engine with this month's practice chart. For those students who are completing their 200 day challenge, or for those who just want a warm up for the February Practice Challenge month (when medals are awarded!), print out this December Practice Chart, and hop to it!
2. Feed your brain with a fascinating article on NPR about Stradivarius violins. Can you hear the difference?
3. Invite your friends to join us here at CYM! The new year is a great time to start discovering music- be is Toddlers, Twinklers, or starting an instrument. Interested families can give us a call at 724-935-0505 or send an inquiry to admissions@youngmusicians.org
