The Music Times - March 2nd, 2020 - Vol. 83
Hello, Friend
News Time
Sign-ups for Spring Concert are OPEN NOW!

It's that time, folks! The format is similar to the Winter Concert. ALL students (regardless of your age, the instrument you play, or how long you have been in lessons) are invited to perform in one (or both) events:

THE BIG SHOW on Sunday 5/31 @ the Bothwell Arts Center (doors at 3:30, show @ 4) or at one of the LITTLE SHOWS on May 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 7th @ Music Time.

BIG SHOW SIGN-UPS END MARCH 20TH
LITTLE SHOW SIGN-UPS END APRIL 5TH

WHAT"S THE DIFFERENCE?

The Big Show is for those interested in a GROUP (band/ensemble) performance. Big Show performers get a FREE SHIRT & they get to be ROCK STARS at The Bothwell Arts Center. Each performance is captured by our professional videographer/photographer. CHECK OUT BIG SHOW 4.0 on YouTube

Little Shows are recital-style performances of solo pieces or duets. Your Little Show date is based on your teacher. LITTLE SHOW INFO


THERE IS NO FEE TO PARTICIPATE IN EITHER THE BIG OR LITTLE SHOW!
Feeling Under the Weather?

Please help everyone at Music Time stay well. If you, or your child is sick, we appreciate your decision to remain at home rather than put us all at risk.

We recommend that you go see live music. I mean, if you wanted to be a chef, wouldn't you eat food? Check out Music Time
Here's a pretty sweet show on March 29th:
Joan Osborne at Bankhead Theater
It's right here in Livermore!
Her breakthrough album in 1995 included the chart-topping single “One of Us.” A sought-after collaborator and versatile performer, she has shared the stage with a wide range of legendary artists including Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead, Emmylou Harris, Luciano Pavarotti and the Chieftains. 
"No matter how corrupt, greedy, and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious & charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful."
