Wow, these come around quicker and quicker every year. This is my favourite time at the studio. The students and teachers are busily preparing their performances. The students are nervous, the teachers are inspired and I am running around like a mad women trying to get organised in time.
At times, I think we must be crazy. The planning, long hours, transposing, arrangements, sound, lighting, dress rehearsals. We get little sleep and live on sugar for about a month. However, every now again, I take a moment to sit back and reflect why we do this?
We do this because it is our job to inspire and create; It is our job to provide safe performing experiences for our students while they are developing their skills and it is our job to teach them that we need to think of others in our community. We put all of these elements together in our “Rock Of All Ages Event.”
This year, our nominated charity is The Song Room. It is an organisation that I have worked with for the past two years and I am deeply passionate about their mission. I have included lots of information regarding ‘The Song Room,’ in this issue. Please take the time to read it and explain to the students why we are raising money this year.
I can’t wait to see what the students have prepared for performance this year and to see the supporting faces of our friends and family in the audience
