Dear Three Rivers Music Academy Family,

There's no doubt 2020 has been a crazy year for everybody. I once again want to thank you for being a part of our music community and sticking with us through all of the challenges we faced this year. A big shout out to those of you who participated in the virtual recital Sunday night. That was so much fun! As the end of the year approaches, I just wanted to remind you that we are on Winter Break from now until January 2. Our 2021 calendar is posted on the website and also below for you to review. Please remember we have set up 48 lesson weeks in the year, so although some months may only have three lessons, those will be balanced out by months with five. Fun Fact: There are 53 Fridays in 2021!

While many businesses have closed this year, we have been able to weather the storm up to this point. That being said, I made the difficult decision this week to suspend our lease at our current location. This will not change anything short term since you are already doing distance learning anyway, I just wanted to temper any expectations of getting back to in-person lessons in the near future. I was really hoping to get back there soon and we may finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. However, due to our changing business model, I could no longer justify holding onto a space that has gone virtually unused for the past eight months. I do plan on getting back to in-person lessons at some point, I just don't know when. In the meantime, I have been hard at work brainstorming new ideas to make the virtual experience even better. Stay tuned for further updates over the coming weeks.

Thanks again, and I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a safe and healthy New Year!

Sincerely,

Ric Oliva
