Monthly Calendar of Orchestra Events at Pinewood We love to hear from you! |
| Lesson Folder Flyers and Hand-Outs | Every once in a while, notes, flyers and other hand-outs are given to your child during their lesson time. Please check the lesson folder every week! |
Emails (the most convenient!) 
bputnam@mohonasen.org |
Emails are the easiest way to communicate with the parents and students. I try to send out periodic "progress emails" on what is happening in lessons so you know what to listen for. I print out a hard copy and send it home to my "No Email" list, so everyone receives the same information. |
