Piano Pupil Concert on Friday 19th June.

Concert on Friday 19^th June 2015 7.30 Salvation Army Hall Baddow Road.

I am really looking forward to this concert. Here are a few points to help you enjoy the evening and to help you prepare your child for their performance:

There is very little parking available at the Salvation Army; the nearest parking is in The Meadows or Navigation Road car parks.

Do arrive before 7.30 in order to give your child to settle down and take in the surroundings.

In the lead up to the concert you can help by making sure your child does their daily practice and by listening to them during a practise performance. Don’t make too big a thing of the concert but do tell them how well they play and how pleased you are that they are playing. With regards to what to wear; not school uniform and not too casual. Something that is smart but not uncomfortable is best. It is an occasion but pianists need to be able to move easily.

You can take discreet photos of your child as they play ( no flash photography and wandering into the aisles please!) and there will be photo opportunities at the end as well.

Trophies will also be presented to those who have achieved 50 Practice Points.Your child will definitely know if that includes them!

Just a few reminders of concert etiquette: please do not make any noise when pupils are performing, do not walk in and out of the hall during the concert, turn off mobiles and other devices, do not use flash photography, please do clap at the end of every performance!

So far I have the following pupils listed to perform ( in no particular order):

Gill and Daniel, Daniel, Zoe, Amelia, Oliver, Charlie, Bethany, Sarah, Lynne, Elena, Abbie, Ethan, Oliver T, Daisy, Jacob, Joely, William, Eleanor, Euan, George, Alexander and Fionn.

If your child wants to play and isn’t on my list, please email me.

I look forward to seeing you at the concert!
