Might I take this opportunity to wish everyone a joyous Christmas and a peaceful New Year!
Piano lessons in school will be finishing by 20th December. View your rearranged lesson times. Other than students at Upton Heath who will have a lesson as normal on Tuesday 14th Dec, you will only have another lesson if your name is on the spreadsheet or if you have a lesson booked on the diary.
Lessons will start again and follow a regular schedule in the New Year from Thursday 6th January, 2011.
Lesson times for Chester Catholic High will be updated after 16th December. Please see the on-line timetable or log in to the diary to check for updates!

It was great to receive 11 composition submissions to the competition and many of my students had worked hard on their pieces. In the end though I had to come up with two winners from the entries received and these pieces were performed at the concert on 4th December, 2010. I will add some more of the entries in noteflight form to a composition gallery page over the next few weeks.
