The Pink Crow Music Studio

While this does signal the beginning of the end of the year, I loved getting such a cool gift from a student. The small pieces also came with their own container that the creature can carry.

A hat was discovered outside this morning, most likely from a kid from a Wednesday night lesson. If you recognize it, let me know.

Should be a lovely concert. I will be playing flute with them for a couple pieces too! Hope to see you there 🎶

A great program …
… for a fine Sunday afternoon, to get you in the mood for wassailing and decking your halls. Talk about variety. Some truly lovely arrangements of traditional carols like “O Holy Night” and “The First Noel” … the comic ditty “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” … a (literally) ringing bell-piece titled “Ding-a Ding-a Ding” … “We Toast the Days” in a farewell to the old year, matched by greeting the new one with an astonishingly peppy “Auld Lang Syne.” The emotional finish is our director Margot’s own arrangement of “Peace, Peace” with “Silent Night” floating over-top.

A Very Forte Christmas: December 14th (2:30 pm) at the Kirk (Pownal @ Fitzroy St., Charlottetown). $15 (cash) at the door.

I had the wonderful opportunity to play with this choir last Tuesday for the PEI RMTA's 30th anniversary concert held at Government House. 🎶

It's been a wonderfully busy week as we get back into lessons.
I have a couple of spots left to fill, but am close to full. Reach out now if you're interested in music lessons this fall and haven't claimed your spot yet.

I'm pivoting to pizza!









Not really, but wouldn't that be change. This is actually Charlottetown's newest pizzeria that just happens to share my name.

I'm actually preparing for fall music lessons, starting in September. Now is the time to reach out and be added to my email list, if you haven't already. 🎶

Do you have a junior high student starting band this fall? Are they feeling a little nervous about learning a brand new instrument?

I offer relaxed introductory lessons on most woodwinds to help make that first step feel a little less overwhelming. We’ll go over how to put the instrument together properly, basic care, how to make those very first sounds, and even dip our toes into reading music.

Band teachers do amazing work, but sometimes a little one-on-one time can make all the difference at the start.

If you're interested in summer or fall lessons, send a message here or email [email protected]. I'd love to help your young musician get off to a great start!

We had our year end recital this Friday in Beaconsfield Historic House's carriage hall. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with great music. Here's just a few pictures from the event. I couldn't be prouder of my students for all the hard work they've put in and grateful for their parents support and encouragement this year.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in fall. Have a fabulous summer!
