Dear ACM students, parents, and teachers, This Saturday individual lessons in the practice rooms will continue as normal, as well as the group piano class and the composition classes. The world music orchestra will meet but be in Multi-media room 3. The ukulele class will meet but in Multi-media room 4.
The pop-rock band, the guitar class, and the choirs will NOT meet. This is due to the Angeles Worship Lab using the classrooms in the school of music. There will be about 150 other people in the music building and Munsun chapel for AWL.
On a different "note" ,/) I'd like to invite you all to our APU Symphonic Band concert on Sunday at 2 pm in Munson Chapel (Free). It will be about one hour long and feature a wide variety of music including music from "Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix" and the anime film "Spirited Away" If you have any questions, please let me know. poster: LINK JPG https://drive.google.com/.../1dBRmfE7UJ0vXmkrHQwp9KV.../view
Concerts and recitals of APU students and APU ensembles will be happening every week from now through the last week of April--ask your teachers about which concerts and recitals they are in, and try to attend if you can--they are all free and open to the public, and we'd love to have our ACM students and families attend.
Finally, note that on March 4 and March 11, it is up to individual teachers and classes whether they meet or not, so check with your teacher!!! (Teachers, please make sure to communicate in advance about whether you are meeting or not).
Sincerely,
Alexander Koops
