Dear Parents: Barn Dance

Dear Parents,
Hope that everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday!  Suzuki Strings has an exciting December filled with group classes, rehearsals, concerts and special events. Keep current with our Friday posts.

SAVE THE DATE for the return of the SSM BARN DANCE

Saturday February 15 at the Goodman Community Center.  Dancing 4-6 pm SSM potluck 6-8.  OPEN TO EVERYONE! Invite your family and friends.

Please match the level  of your student (consult with your home teacher) for repertoire to learn for this fun event.  The links to purchase the books are listed below. We have used these books in all previous barn dance events. Learn as many tunes as you can!
With a twinkling spirit,

Diana
