Grand Villa Senior Living Facility
Cancelled for December
The Grand Villa Performance for December has been cancelled due to all the other activities students and teachers are involved in this month, including the recitals, fantasy lights and parade. We will be back in January.
Don’t miss your chance to shine at our upcoming performance at Grand Villa! If you’re eager to share your talent and passion for music, let your teacher know or reach out to Mrs. Emily directly.
These performances are a wonderful way to bring the joy of music to the community. The residents eagerly anticipate our visits, often singing along with us during the group sing-along finale, making the experience even more special.
We cherish the relationships we’ve built with the residents and are proud of how these performances help our students grow in confidence and stage presence.
Not quite ready to perform? No problem! Come support the event, soak in the atmosphere, and maybe even make a new connection. We’d love to have you there!

NFMC Festival Program
District Festival Preparation
Planet e Studios has 41 students registering for the Festival Program this year, in voice, piano, and snare drum. On Saturday, February 15, 2025, each student will perform two pieces for a music judge and will receive a rating on their performance. Whoever receives a “Superior” rating can then go on to State Festival at USF in Tampa, in May 2025.
Make-up Lessons Reminder
Make-up lessons are available on the 2nd Saturday of every month. If there is a conflict with the 2nd Saturday, like December because we have 2 weeks of recitals, we choose a different Saturday that month. December’s make-up lesson day is Saturday December 7th. The dates are always posted in the studio on the “What’s Happening” board. You can sign up with our Music Director anytime beforehand to reserve your time, if you have a lesson to make up. We will have the 2025 dates out soon.
