Fwd: Concerto Class DVD's for sale at next group class



---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Suzuki Talent Education Program Suzuki Talent Education Program <step@nfld.com>
Date: Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 1:08 AM
Subject: Concerto Class DVD's for sale at next group class
Hello STEP families;
 
On Saturday's group class, the student members of the STEP program that belong to the most senior group class, the Concerto Class (performing name is The Young Virtuosi) will be on hand to sell the DVD that was recorded during their performance in Gander last fall.  The wonderfully high level of performance from these STEP students is a testament to the success of "talent education" right here in St. John's and will provide all of the younger students of STEP with a wonderful model to follow and to be motivated by. 
 
Each DVD will cost only $5.00 and the proceeds will go into the Young Virtuosi's touring fund.  This is the class that all STEP students graduate to after they have reached the uppermost book levels.  By playing this DVD and by taking your children to the Young Virtuosi concerts,  your child will become more aware of this group's existence and their own future participation in it.  Having a positive vision for the future always provides an impetus to practice and improve today!  Please make sure you get your copy on Saturday!
 
See you then,
 
Jennifer Johnson
Group Class teacher for The Young Virtuosi of STEP
