This info is also on the Dates page (or will be), but a consolidated bullet list makes me feel happy. As of September 2019, here are a few important dates and tidbits to mark on your calendars and in your hearts:

If you have scheduling needs for fall break, get on it. I’ll be offering lessons on the regular schedule as fall break schedules vary from school to school.
Halloween replacement lessons are available on Saturday morning, November 2, for the Thursday folks who would rather get their ghoul on.
No lessons on Thanksgiving Thursday or Black Friday (do people still call it that?) — that’s November 28 and 29.
Students may have a performance opportunity or two over the holidays. More info will be available as we approach November.
December will have two weeks of lessons and then a cozy winter break for naps and snacks and whatever cheers your holidays.
Lessons resume January 6, 2020.
The lesson schedule stays normal over spring break, but if you have needs, make your adjustments when we are within 30 days of the lesson date you need to adjust.
The formal spring recital is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2020. We’ll most likely split it into four sessions, and you will be able to choose the one that will suit you best. The preceding weekends will be filled with recital prep (pre-req performance classes), so reserve some time on at least one of those three weekends.
We will all take a break for a couple of weeks after the recital and over Memorial Day and high school graduations. Lessons will resume June 1.
Summer session 2020 will have eight available weeks.
