Report on May 7 meeting:

On Friday, May 7, the PVMTA group held its spring meeting. We were a very small (but very  good!) group. We met at Patti Stowell's home with Patti, Martha Day, Amy Maier and Sally Pendleton in attendance.

After and with coffee we did some sightreading and then saw a little of The 3-Diminsional Pianist DVD put out by Fred Karpoff. This is a wonderful endeavor illustrating piano technique with the teacher (Fred Karpoff) and students participating one-on-one. We should all see this entire production. A great addition to anyone's studio!!  

We were very sorry to learn that Paulina Glazman has been and is in the hospital. We all wish her the very best with regards to a speedy recovery. You all have her address...cards would be lovely!

—Sally Pendleton

Next meeting: September, date TBA
