2025 - 2026 Events Calendar
The events below are offered throughout the calendar year. Each student may select the events in which he or she wishes to participate. I customize my lesson plans according to the skill levels of each individual student, his/her desires, and what is necessary for each student's overall progression. Some of my students participate in many of these events, while others choose to participate in only a few. I will offer my recommendation and then it's up to you!
