This year, we are holding the recital at Mountain Air Assisted Living in Payson, Utah. Right now, they have 11 residents, although they have room for 15. They are expecting a couple more by Christmas.
The residents of Mountain Air love visitors. They enjoy playing Bingo and board games. They love going for rides in the car. And they especially love it when people sing or play for them. They were even delighted with the few scales and chords I played to test out the piano. The residents will be thrilled to hear the students play the pieces they have worked on over the last few weeks.
As part of the festivities, the piano students and I will be making Christmas tree decorations to take as gifts for the people of Mountain Air. On Saturday, November 21, at 10 a.m. we will have our November group lesson. At this group lesson, the children will play their pieces for each other and then we will make the decorations.
Angie, the director of Mountain Air has invited the students to stop in any time between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. any day and try out the piano. You can check in with her--her office is to the right--or just let one of the nurses know you are there. The piano is in the front room to the left just as you walk in. Be sure to bring some music with you and play a couple of your favorite songs for them!
The recital itself will be on December 12, at 2 p.m. The address for Mountain Air Assisted Living is 153 South 900 East in Payson. Dress is nice casual. Just make sure you bring your best smile! A Santa hat, reindeer ears, or any other festive adornment is welcome, as well.
Our Top Practicer this week: Wesley!! Great job! (Keep practicing, Everyone! And don't forget the extra credit activities!)
*Also, if you have your recital piece memorized by the group lesson on November 21, you can move up an extra line!
