Welcome to Miss Donna's Music Notes

This is our music space. I'll post about upcoming events, musical tips and takeaways, and perhaps a funny musical meme or two. Parents and older students will receive a message when there's something new here.

New Students

Here a a couple of forms for you to download and fill out before our first meeting. No worries, though. We will fill them out during your first lesson if you don't bring them along.

Earn free music lessons!

Did you know there's an easy way to earn free music lessons? If you know someone interested in music lessons, send them my way! Tell them to let me know you recommended them. When they sign up for a second month of lessons, you each receive a free one during their second month. Space is a little limited but I still have plenty of time slots available on select days.

Holiday Music Showcase and Singalong

The annual Community Christmas Carol is where local singers, musicians, and choral groups come together to celebrate the holidays. It happens on the third Sunday of December at 2 p.m. at the Rogers Theater, 257 North Third Street, Rogers City. We also intersperse audience participation in singing select Christmas carols together (as the flu/sickness season allows).

My music students are always invited to participate. If you want me to accompany or sing with you, or if you want my help preparing for the performance, we will allow ample lesson time to practice. Song selections are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis to prevent the same songs being played or sung too often during the show. Let me know your choices as early as possible (two guaranteed, up to four total), especially if one of your choices is a popular tune.
