Students:
Spring Session is coming to a close on May 24. Below is the lesson schedule for Summer 2008.
Summer Session
June 2 through 28
No lessons in July
August 4 through 30
Advance payment for entire session (8 Lessons) only $120. A 10% discount!
I know that many of you have vacations and other family activities planned for the coming Summer months. If you plan on continuing lessons during the Summer but have some occasional conflicts, just please let me know when to expect you in advance, and we’ll adjust your payments accordingly.
This was my first year having a predetermined schedule including 2 recitals for the entire year with discounts available for advance payment. It definitely took time and planning to pull all of that together, but I think it was worth the effort. I hope that having the scheduling information and payment discounts available made a difference to you. If there’s anything I can do to make guitar lessons more productive or to make the business end of things more convenient let me know. I’m always open to suggestions.
I’ll be making the schedule for the 2008-2009 soon and will pass along the information once it’s finalized.
Thank you for your continued patronage, it’s a privilege to work with you.
John
Update May 23: A photo gallery has been added to the end of the post.
Today was my second studio recital of the school year and everything went about as well as it possibly could. We were back at the Front Room in Baker Center where there’s not only a great performance space but lots of natural light which is always nice, especially for a daytime performance. Everyone performed spectacularly and the audience was really quiet and respectful throughout. Congratulations to all of the performers - you really shined!
You can see more photos, the complete program, and additional notes on the recital after the jump.
The following stories from the Uniontown Herald Standard recount the life and work of Jazztet drummer Guy Remonko.
Remonko still playing drums after 50 years
By Ron Paglia, For the Herald-Standard

It’s been more than 50 years since Guy Remonko played his first professional gig as a drummer.
And his passion for music shows no signs of waning.
“I love (music), it’s that plain and simple,” said Remonko, a 1959 graduate of South Union High School who now lives in Athens, Ohio. “Music has been my life; I doubt that will ever change. As long as I can hold the sticks and keep groovin’, I’ll be playing.”
