October Recital: PMTA has decided not to do the October recital at Barnes and Noble so we will do our recital at Emeritus Latrobe instead (formerly called Green Meadows). Emeritus is located near St. Vincent College. From route 30 turn at the light by St Vincent then turn left onto Brouwers Drive. Emeritus will be the first building on the left. The recital will be on Sunday, October 23^rd at 2:00 PM in the Country Kitchen. (Residents are given priority seating, so you may have to stand.) I would like each student to play two pieces which need not be memorized. Students may play Halloween music or songs from your regular books. If you would like a Halloween piece, let me know at your next lesson. Students may wear Halloween Costumes if they like, but please make sure the costume doesn’t block your hands or your vision.

The Sonatina Contest will be held on October 2^nd at the Seton Hill Performing Arts Center. Sarah Glasser and Sarah Sass from my studio will be competing this year. Please wish them luck. I have not received their judging times yet, but all students and their families are invited to attend the winner’s recital at 4:00 PM.

Christmas Recital: For those of you who like to plan ahead, I have scheduled our Christmas Recital for Dec 18^th at 2:00 PM at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church on Mission Road in Latrobe. There is ample seating so friends, neighbors and relatives are welcome. PMTA may also be scheduling a Christmas Recital at Barnes and Noble, but I don’t have any information on that at this time. Students may participate in both recitals if they like.
