Harmony LNFI Week 23 – Spring Break Next Week!
Dear Harmony LNFI Families,
Happy Spring break! It’s hard to believe we only have five more weeks of Harmony programming before the end of the Harmony year on May 15. LNFI Harmony is sounding great! Roots students are playing “Hot Cross Buns” and “French Folk Song,” and we are all learning Frere Jacques and Merengue for our performance at Orchestra Hall in on May 10.
Last Call for Harmony Evaluations
We have had pretty low participation in the Harmony Caregiver survey, so we are leaving it open for a few more days. If you have not yet had a chance, please take five minutes to complete one by Monday April 6! Your feedback is deeply appreciated and helps inform updates and changes to the Harmony program.
