Valentine Recital
A recital featuring music students playing duets with family and friends.Sunday February 12 at 2:30 pm
United Church Hall
Admission by donation
Practice-athlon 2011
This fall the Creston Valley Music Teachers’ Association challenged their students to “go the distance”. In the same way a skater puts in hours of practice laps, music students put in a lot of time practicing their instruments. So the students were challenged to meet a goal of practice laps, based on 15 minutes per lap.
This proved to be a very successful way to quantify goals, as many students met or exceeded their target time. In the 5-week challenge period, families learned realistic expectations for daily music practice. Some of these students will perform in the 2012 Creston Festival of the Arts, February 24 & 25 (piano) and March 6 and 7 (strings).
The high scorer in each division wins a pass from the Creston & District Community Complex. Division winners are marked with an *. All participants will receive a free Dairy Queen Treat. Thank you to the Creston and District Community Complex and Dairy Queen for donating the prizes. Thank you to the parents for their support and the students for their dedication and hard work.
