party – Tempo Drive Music Studio

Season’s Greetings, young musicians and parents!

As the holidays approach I am excited to bring you a tradition from my family that has become a studio tradition. To wrap up our last week of classes, we will be having a cookie decorating party in each class: Monday Dec. 17- Saturday Dec. 2. At one point I wasn’t sure, as my oven was broken, but went ahead and got a new one before the Boxing week as originally planned 🙂

You need not bring anything. I will not cook with nuts, and the rest of the ingredients basically include flour, sugar and eggs. If I have missed any of these allergies, please email me with details.

Thank you all for a wonderful Fall term! You have all worked very hard and I encourage you to think back to September to see how far you have come at this point.

Musically,

Mrs. Frizell

On Tuesday night my Moonbeams 3 celebrated their final class with Newfoundland flair and a good old fashioned “Kitchen Party.” Until now I had only heard of the tradition and thought it sounded like great fun. It really was!

I learned a lot of about a place in Canada that I have not been able to visit yet (one day, hopefully!) We also celebrated Mummering by dressing up disguised (as “Mummers”) and guessing who’s who. After that we had a “Screech-in” ceremony with Purity Syrup. Of course a kitchen party wouldn’t be complete without music, so we played the upright piano (Lots of MB3 Canadian Folksongs), sang and even played some guitar.

We all had a great time, and I’m very pleased that like me, these children have learned more about our Canadian Heritage.

Congratulations Moonbeams 3- class of 2011! All of your hard work has paid off!
