LCMS WELCOMES THE COMMUNITY TO OPEN HOUSE

LANGLEY, BC – Langley Community Music School (LCMS) welcomes the community to attend its annual Community Day Open House on Saturday September 7, 2013, from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

“We’re inviting the community to visit our beautiful school to see the spectrum of quality programs that we have developed with the help of our experienced, professional faculty,” says Susan Magnusson, LCMS principal. “As a community organization, we strive to ‘bring music to life’ for everyone. We have programs for all ages and musical interests, from babies to seniors, and from classical to jazz and contemporary music.”

The Community Day events schedule includes a Suzuki information session for parents at 10:00am, a mini Orff class for young children at 10:00am and a mini choral workshop at 11:00am.

Throughout the day there will be opportunities for students to meet prospective teachers. A limited number of free introductory lessons are being offered that can be arranged by calling the school beforehand at 604-534-2848 to book a time. There will also be refreshments, facility tours, and fun activities for all.

“We listen to the community and develop new programs to respond to their interests. We offer much more than private lessons, and we’re particularly proud of the full array of enrichment programs, from children’s choir and orchestras to jazz ensemble and hand bells. This year we’ve added Suzuki harp, an adult music appreciation course, popular music theory, and lessons for people interested in working with music software like Garage Band and Ableton.”
