Studio Policies and Price changes coming
Starting in October, I will be changing my studio policies as well as my pricing structure.
New students will be $25 per half hour.
Current students will see a nominal price increase for now, not a sudden jump.
I am still debating my attendance policies for this fall. Also, my schedule will probably not be as flexible in terms of weekend availabilities. I need to schedule a day off for myself.
I will be distributing the new studio policies, price increases and an availability sheet to everyone in September once I know more about my schedule.

Round Hill Games Results
Well I was one of 20 people competing in the Grade 4 SR 2/4 March. I scored an 82, which appears to be the judge's standard low score. In other words, I tied with 6 other people in my group. The competitors were split into two groups for ease and speed of judging.
I created some issues for myself in speeding up the tune. While the tempo was good, the execution wasn't. I should have stayed under tempo.
According to the judge, my tuning was good, and the balance between my chanters and drones were good. I was surprised at this considering I had to ditch my Wygent drone reeds that morning. They were failing due to the humidity.
The judge commented that my chanter sounded thin, and the same judge said the same thing about my bands chanters as well. I think it is due to the higher pitch we were at.
Bottom line, I need to slow down, and I need to lower my pitch.
