Happy Monday!
Now is the time of year to be looking at your summer plans for lessons and Band camps!
There are several local and nearly local options for lessons to improve on your instrument that you can choose from.
Locally there is Between the Notes, and the Tahoe School of Music and less local but still on the hill and a good option is the Tahoe Music Institute in Lake Forest, Tahoe City. Not on the hill, but relatively close is Blue Note B's and Absolute Music in Reno. I highly recommend lessons on your instrument over the summer to keep up your skills and to improve them or learn a new instrument for next year!
Another fun option is to go to a summer band camp. At these camps there will be like minded students interested in making music together and having fun learning. We are very fortunate to have several quality options in our area with the Lake Tahoe summer music camp July 6-12 (supported by UNR) on the east shore of Lake Tahoe, Silver Lake music camp July 27- August 2, at Camp Concord in South Lake Tahoe, Donner Mine music camp July 20- 25th at the Zeibright Mine off Hwy 20 on the way to Nevada City. All of these camps are making reservations now and can be found on line.
A bit of Calendar adjustment to make today. The Friday Jazz Band's performance at the Empire Mine Jazz Festival on May 10 2014 has been cancelled. We talked about it at rehearsal on Friday and there are too many conflicts to field a quality band, so we have withdrawn from the Festival. all other calendared events are still happening at this time.
Have a great week! I am so looking forward to this weekends CMEA Region V Select MS Honor Band. Come hear the concert on Saturday afternoon at 5PM in the ACMS Gym!
