July 2011 Teaching Schedule

-- My teaching schedule during the month of July will be fragmented. Please read the following:

Monday students:  We'll have 2 lessons in July. We won't be meeting on the July 4th holiday. I'll see you on the 11th and the 18th. We will not meet on the 25th because I will be out of town.

Tuesday students:  We'll have 3 lessons in July. I will see you on the 5th, 12th, and 19th. We will not meet on the 26th because I will be out of town.

Thursday students:  We'll have 2 lessons in July. We will not meet on the 7th because I will be out of town. I will see you on the 14th and the 21st. We will not meet on the 28th because I will be out of town.

Sunday students:  We will have 2 lessons in July. We will not meet on the 3rd, 10th, or 31st. I will see you on the 17th and the 31st.

Please contact me if you have any questions! Sorting out the above schedule has required a lot of brain power; I hope I have all the details right.

-- July is my first month teaching Tuesdays at my home studio in Castro Valley. Hooray! Welcome to my new Tuesday students.

-- I am attending the MTAC convention in Oakland this weekend and will be blogging about the events I attend.

-- The Summer Film Scoring project will kick into gear with select students in July. Though the selected short cartoon is only 3 minutes long, I think the length is intimidating for students who have never undertaken such a project before. So my new plan is to divide students into "teams" of 2, each taking a share of the composing work. More details are forthcoming.
