PREPARING FOR THE NYSSMA SOLO FESTIVAL

**Procrastination Warning** There are 4 weeks remaining until NYSSMA. If your student is participating, they should have a concrete strategy for learning their music, including making significant time to practice at home. We *are* working together in class and in lessons, and Ms. Kluga available by appointment, however the muscle coordination/memory needed to successfully perform a piece of music cannot be learned by cramming. Plan your time now, and you will be thankful in 4 weeks!
