JustNTune Music Academy- Ceasing Operations Starting June 1, 2024.
Please see this important announcement below from our Owners and Co-Founders, Mr. and Mrs. Powell.
Just N Tune Notice
Dear Just N Tune friends and family,
We are writing today for a couple of reasons.
First, we want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to invest in your lives by being your choice for music instruction. This is not a privilege we take lightly.
Second, it is with great sadness that we need to inform you that after over a decade in this region, Just N Tune Music Academy and piano service will be ceasing operations on June 1, 2024. We realize this is very short notice, but a number of aspects have come to play in just the past few days.
As you may be aware, Roger is retiring from pastoral ministry at Bible Baptist Church as of May 19. We will be moving to North Carolina to join the music faculty of Ambassador Baptist College in Lattimore. Our plans originally were to run the academy “long distance” with the expert help of our administrative assistant, Caitie Wollett. We firmly believed this was a sound and workable solution to our moving.
However, in the past week, we found out that the facility of Bible Baptist Church will not be available for our use going forward. The complementary use of their building was essential to our operations.
Also, we discovered that there is a very likely possibility that Caitie will be moving out of state in the near future as a result of her husband’s career path leading to a new position.
These three situations together will make it impossible for us to continue to operate the academy.
We have enjoyed the opportunity to serve and are thankful for the many friends we have made over the years.
So, what does this mean for you?
1. Lessons will continue as usual for the month of May, according to the published Trimester 2 calendar.
2. You will be receiving a final invoice for the month of May.
3. Our website and Slack messaging will be terminated in the first part of June.
4. We are encouraging all of our families to feel free to reach out to their present instructor(s) and inquire about the possibility of continuing private lessons with them at a different location. Grace Foster, a college music major intern, will be available for piano instruction at Bible Baptist for the summer months only. You can text or call her at tel:3865074573.
5. For piano tuning, we are recommending Mike Foster (tel:3869179209).
6. All accounts must be up to date. So, please pay both past due and current invoices by no later than May 20.
7. We will be collecting all door access key cards the last week of May. Please turn in your key cards to your teacher at your last lesson. If you were not planning on taking lessons this trimester, we would appreciate your stopping by and dropping off your key card. Thank you!
We know this is a lot to process in such a short amount of time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to be part of your music education.
God bless you!
