SESSION II ends with Workshop Week, May 5 and May 14 - 15, 2012. It's the time of year when we encourage you to meet our talented staff members - maybe someone you haven't studied with - and to have a sample of a class that you might want to take in Session III.
There will be no regularly scheduled lessons during Workshop Week (May 14 - 18).
All students from Session II are encouraged to attend one or two workshops that interest them. Anyone not registered during Session II is welcome to take any workshop for a $20 fee.

317 Joins VASEN and Berklee Onstage!
A group of 317 students were invited to watch an open soundcheck with Swedish folk trio VASEN last week at Hannaford Hall at the University of Southern Maine in Portland.
In a very special moment for some of our young players, they were asked to join the group onstage for an encore, along with their instructors Melissa Bragdon and Erica Brown, along with Darol Anger and a group of Berklee College of Music students.
