musiConnects' Spring Trimester is in full-swing, both online and at the Roslindale studio!
May 10-16: Performathon!
Performathon is the 2021 edition of musiConnects' annual spring fundraiser. Every participant in our program - Residency students, RCP students, and Resident Musician teachers! - is invited to play an informal mini-performance in a public place AND gather supporters who will "sponsor" this performance by making a financial contribution to support musiConnects' programming. Students should talk to their instructor to make a performance plan: pick your song, pick your time + place, and brainstorm a few possible supporters!
June 3, 5pm: Spring All-Play: Stand By Me
Our annual spring All-Play (featuring Ms. Betsy's string arrangement of Ben E. King's Stand By Me) is scheduled for June 3 at 5pm. This concert's location is TBD - it will either take place on Zoom/YouTube, like our previous All-Plays, or in a large outdoor space like a park.
June 6: Spring Solo Recital
The Spring Solo Recital is the final chance to show off your progress in 2020-21! All students are encouraged to participate. Like Stand By Me, this event's location is TBD.

Help!
My instrument / my child's instrument needs repair.
For issues like these, call your private teacher!
Many students have their teacher's permission to tune independently. Follow your teacher's instructions, and if you need extra help, try watching our video (link coming soon!). Recommended: download a tuning app like insTuner (iOS) or GuitarTuna (iOS/Android).
I don't know what to practice!
Most musiConnects teachers have created Google Classrooms or Google Drive folders for their private students. Text/email your teacher and check your Google space if you have questions about your current assignments!
